Choijin Lama Temple, Buddhist temple museum in central Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The complex contains five temples with blue brick construction, wooden posts, and green tiled roofs arranged around a central courtyard in downtown Ulaanbaatar.
The monastery, built between 1904 and 1908, served as the residence of Luvsan Haidav Choijin Lama, the state oracle and brother of Bogd Khan.
The museum displays traditional Buddhist artifacts, including thangka paintings, tsam dance masks, copper sculptures, and religious ceremonial instruments from Mongolia.
Located south of Sukhbaatar Square, the museum requires additional fees for photography and provides audio guides plus volunteer guides for detailed information.
The Yadam Temple contains wooden and bronze statues crafted by sculptor Zanabazar, including his self-portrait and a small stupa from Tibet.
