NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MONGOLIAN HISTORY


The National Museum of Mongolian History was founded in 1991. Exhibits of the museum show the history and culture of Mongols from ages as early as the Stone Age and up to the modern days. Among 15 thousand exhibits of the museum are carpet and silk items of the Hun period and leather boots of a Mongolian soldier of that time.
 

Still sometimes referred to by its previous name, the Revolutionary Museum, the National Museum of Mongolian History was renovated in 1998 and is well worth a visit.
 

The 1st floor has some interesting exhibits on petroglyphs, deer stones (stone sculptures of reindeer and other animals) and burial sites from the Hun and Uyghur eras. The 2nd floor houses an outstanding collection of costumes, hats and jewellery, representing most of Mongolia's ethnic groups.
 

The 3rd floor is a must-see for fans of the Mongol horde. The collection includes real examples of 12th century Mongol Armour, and correspondence between Pope Innocent IV and Guytik Khaan. Written in Latin and Persian and dated November 13, 1246, it bears the khaan's seal. There is also a display of traditional Mongolian culture with, among other things, a furnished ger, traditional farming and domestic implements, saddles and musical instruments.
 

Also on display are Buddhist items, including the controversial Ganlin Horn, made from human thigh bones, and used by head monks to call and exorcise evil spirits. All the exhibits have good English captions, except for the dull gallery of Soviet-era history.
 

The museum is on the comer of Khudaldaany Gudamj and Sukhbaataryn Gudamj. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. There is a US$15 photography charge.
