Very interesting. Give a good overview of Mongolian way of life over time as well as traditions. Worth visiting
This is a place to understand Mongolian history from bronze age to now, lots of exhibits and knowledge. Good place to spend a morning or afternoon.
Go have a look at Mongolian history but be prepared it's quite boring
They have displaying
coins, currency
stone age history
developing history
clothing
weapons
chopstick and knife sets
ger camps
shaman stuff
some political videos
puzzles
musical instruments
that's about it.
quite a lot of student groups come here, notice its 3 floors and only stairs no lift.
Great museum! It gives a succinct overview of Mongolian history from the Stone Age through to when democracy replaced socialism in the early nineties. There are quite a few antiquities as well as some very detailed national costumes (my favorite exhibit!). Depending on how much you want to read as you view the collections, you can get through the entire museum in a couple of hours. Well worth the money!
The National Museum of Mongolia[Mongolian:Монголын үндэсний түүхийн музей; formerly the National Museum of Mongolian History is located in Ulaanbaatar. This museum is a cultural, scientific, and educational organization, which is responsible for the collection, conservation and interpretation of the objects under its curation The first museum in Mongolia, the Mongolian National Museum (now the Mongolian Natural History Museum), was established in 1924 and became the basis for other museums, including the National Museum of Mongolian History. Russian scholars, such as Pyotr Kozlov, V. I. Lisovskii, A. D. Simukov, and the American researcher Roy Chapman Andrews contributed to the museum's early collections and exhibits.
Really interesting museum, with a good introduction to Mongolian history. Not certain a camera permit is worth the extra money (I was never asked for it). Good descriptions in English. Was a good place to shelter from the cold.
Very interesting place to learn about Mongolian history and the traditions and customs of its nomads. Could do with a bit of a spruce up as it looks a bit shabby in places. The audio guide needs to be updated as in a few areas you spend a while looking for the actual exhibit as it seems to skip back and forth in the room.
Decent tour of Mongolian history, although a bit cheesy at times. Paying extra for a photographer's permit was almost worth the 10,000T. Some nice trinkets in the gift shop.
Mongolia's history is as vibrant, majestic, and beautiful as it is today. From the time when dinosaurs roamed the land, to the time when Chinggis Khaan rose to power, the history of this amazing country is sure to astonish the minds of viewers and cultural enthusiasts.
Well worth the admission fee and time spent. Professionally organized with fascinating details about Mongolia up to the present. Certainly elucidate Ghenghis Khan, the Turkic tribes, and others who contributed so much, positively or otherwise, most of the known world.

It is helpfull to learn about 2000 year old tradition od Mongolian statehood. Give you good knowledge of country's tradition and nomad lifestyle. It has 11 halls including the Ancient history, Ancient States, Traditional clothes and jewelry, Mongolian Empire, Culture, Traditional lifestyle, Socialist Mongolia and Democratic Mongolia, eventually temporary exhibition hall.
Exhibitions and cultural and historical heritages are amazing. You can rent audio guide equipment. But administration of museum and staffs are not nice. For me, its so sad to know museum guides are only available for group visitors more than 10 people with pre-booking
Good place to start a trip to get an appreciation of the history of Mongolia. Cheap entry ticket, well worth the time.
In the context of Ulaanbaatar, this is a really nice thing to see. There is not a lot to do in the city, and this would be a highlight. If you are trying to waste a couple hours this is a good way to do it.
This is recommended one if you are visiting mongolia. Archeology and anthropology is main area. Not as big as popular museums. Entry ticket is not expensive and 1-2 hour could be enough for quick visit
Great place for a comprehensive representation of Mongolia's history from the stone age to its democratic revolution in 1990. Would recommend a visit here for any tourist visiting UB
Goid place to see some artifiacts & interesting exhibits. Could provide a bit more information.
it`s just THE best museum around.
Best museum in Mongolia. Gives a comprehensive overview Mongolia's history well into modern times.
A fantastic introduction to mongolia through the ages
I would definitely recommend taking the audio guide! Very comprehensive
The ticket is about 3-5dollars but exhibitions are totally well-organized and beautiful. It contains the history of the first humans settled in Mongolia to nowadays
Well organised, must see museum. You can learn about Mongolian history of almost all historical generation in brief from here
Very complete and with english panels. Amazing. Reserve yourself 3-4 hours.
Succinct museum of Mongolia in 3 floors. 8,000 MNT for a ticket. Well worth the money. About an hour and a half to see all the exhibits.
Great overview of Mongolian history. The curation and artifacts available were both worth seeing. I particularly like seeing the costumes, jewelry and every day items of days gone buy. I attended during a heat wave of summer and wished there was air conditioning for both my sake and the sake of the artifacts.
Great overview of Mongolian history from the Bronze Age to the present. Often general histories of Mongolian focus on Genghis Khan and his successors, but this museum presents a more balanced and comprehensive overview. There is a traditional costume display that gives a nice overview of the various peoples who live in the country.
