Museums in Ulaanbaatar
Natural History Museum
This is definitely a place you do not want to miss out on visiting, you can actually touch all of the exhibits on show including a large meteorite sat in the middle of the floor and a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil! The museum is very popular with school groups and most visitors to the country. The museum contains exhibits from Zoology, Geology, Botany, Anthropology and Paleontology.
There is also a museum on the third floor called the “Golden Camel” museum, exhibiting Camel paraphernalia from all over the country. The museum also includs fossils discovered by the American Paleontologist Robert Andrews Chapman during the 1920’s.
The main exhibits consist of a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton and the amazing “fighting Dinosaurs”, dinosaur eggs, not to mention a wide range of examples of the massive array of wildlife that’s wondering around Mongolia. There’s also an exhibit containing the first Mongolian Cosmonauts space suit and helmet.. All of which you can play with to your hearts content. Entry is around 2,000 - 3,000 Tugrik and most if not all museums charge around 5,000 for a photo pass, which is a little unfair and gets rather expensive if you want to visit all the museums.
