Mongolia’s Must-See Chinggis Khaan Museum

The museum opened in late 2022 in downtown Ulaanbaatar on the site of the old Natural History Museum, near to Government House at Sukhbaatar Square. The building itself is a great testament to the Mongols. The main gates resemble the shape of a Gerege (messengers pass). In Mongolia there’s a saying: “A family that is thriving can be seen from its gate.” The Gerege is a messenger’s pass that grants access to greater things. Once inside, the guests are to walk up the stairs to the third floor. On top of the stairs, there’s a large portrait of Chinggis, as if he’s to take you on a journey through the history of Mongolia. The museum has a total of 9 floors with more than 10,000 exhibits. More than 85% of the exhibits are original. Each floor has different periods of history and chronologically displays its exhibits, stanning from the Bronze age to the early 20th century.
