    Nat Museum of Mongolia
    Just a walking distance from the sukhbaatar square, be careful not to confused with parlement building across the street. While i went there no audio guide available and had to pay another 10.000 (4usd) for taking photos, which i dont mind. Some exhibition doesnt have any english translation (the first two galleries, if im not mistaken) but the rest just are just fine. Collections are from pre historic age down to modern age, that include variety of traditional clothing on the second floor. All galleries sequenced in timely manner. The only thing that annoy me was because of some section is being renovated, so we have to around and end up going backward in theme. Staff are nice and speak basic english, it also has a small souvenir kiosk by the main entrance. Total time i spent was around 2 hours

    Many interesting exhibitions from ancient times until today
    The museum has quite a few well-organized exhibitions - from ancient times until present day, including the Soviet decades and the transition to Democracie at the end of the 20th Century. For a very low price of entrance fee, you get to spend a few hours to see all the halls. There are also temporary exhibitions, as well as a nice small book shop at the entrance, if you are interested in history or archeology litterature. It is inspiring to see how Mongolians cherish and appreciate their past and where they have come from. There were many Original and copy exponats, maps on the walls, an entire hall of traditional clothing of the ethnicities of the different regions of the Country, and even video projection from the 70s or 80s time of how Ulaanbaatar looked like.

    Really excellent
    20,000 ticket plus another 20,000 if you wanna take photos…kinda honor system. Really good from early early days to modern and today. I particularly enjoyed the modern stuff as Mongolia evolved its politics, social and economic stands Really good.

The museum was quite interesting. The exhibits were well done and provided a history of the country. We did lose interest when they got to the Communist period.

A great museum that covers the very long history of the country. The displays include English descriptions. Several rooms that display the lives and some political history.

This is a great place packed with knowledge. There is information from "a" to "z", anything you could possibly want to know about Mongolia, its culture, history, heritage. It is very well organized, has lots of lots of exhibitions and displays. Traditional clothing, ger culture, hisotry of Mongolia through all the ages, the way to democracy, musical intruments, every day accessories and many many more. Definitely recommend to pay it a visit!

Even if this museum looks old,it is still interesting to visit this place before a trip in Mongolia to have information regarding history, religion and habits in the country.
The comments were really instructive ;we enjoy the visit.

One of the best places you must visit. The findings are fantastic. All the information is in both English and Mongolian; a handy translator device was available to use.

The Zanabazar museum proved more interesting. This museum is fine, but one whole floor is devoted to very recent history. If you want to take photos you have to pay twice- ensure you have the photo ticket because the guards will check (repeatedly). The most interesting galleries on ancient history are shut.
