The museum contains exhibits from, Zoology, Geology, Botany,Anthrapology and Palaentology, there is also a museum on the third floor called the “Golden Camel” museum, exhibiting Camel paraphinalia from all over the country. The museum also included fossils discovered by the American Palaenantologist Robert Andrews Chapman during the 1920’s.

The main exhibits consist of a Tyranousaurus 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 Cosmanaughts space suit and helmet, “I’m not a geek … honest!” 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.

Mongolia is the Dinosaur capital of the world and many new discoveries have been made here. Mongolia is rich in many mineral resources not only Gold and Copper but many that are used for medicinal purposes, the Natural History Museum is a must see for all the family.

The Natural History Museum is a large white palatial like building, which can be found just behind the National History Museum, located on Khuvisgalchdyn Orgon Choloo. Open Tuesday to Sunday 10.00 – 16.30 during the summer months.
