Natural History Museum, Natural history museum in Chingeltei, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The Natural History Museum is a science institution in central Ulaanbaatar that displays more than 15,000 specimens collected over decades. The collections cover geology, geography, and biology, offering a complete picture of Mongolia's natural heritage.
The institution was founded in 1924 as a national museum, showing Mongolia's early commitment to documenting nature. It moved to its current location in 2013 to ensure better conditions for the collections.
The museum shows how Mongolia's natural world has shaped the lives and customs of its people across time. Visitors can see how closely people have always lived with their surroundings.
The museum is centrally located and easy to reach on foot, with clear pathways between exhibits. Plan enough time to walk through the different sections at a comfortable pace.
