Natural History Museum, Natural history museum in Chingeltei, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The Mongolian Natural History Museum contains more than 15,000 specimens showcasing the geological, geographical, and biological heritage of Mongolia through permanent exhibits.
Founded in 1924 as the National Museum, the institution operated from a 1953 building until 2013, when structural concerns led to its relocation.
The museum presents exhibits that demonstrate the connection between Mongolia's natural environment and the traditional practices of its inhabitants across generations.

The museum houses significant paleontological discoveries, including a complete Tarbosaurus skeleton and Protoceratops egg nests from the late Cretaceous period.
