Museum of the History and Reconstruction of Ulan-Bator, City history museum in Bayanzürkh district, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The Museum of the History and Reconstruction of Ulan-Bator displays artifacts and documents that demonstrate the transformation of Mongolia's capital from a nomadic settlement to an urban center.
Established in 1960 after a resolution from the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Republic, the museum building first served as a residence for key political figures in 1921.
The collection contains 3,832 cataloged objects, including silver artifacts, archaeological findings, photographs, and documents that reflect the development of Ulaanbaatar through different periods.
The museum provides free entry during International Museum Day, Children's Day, Independence Day, and the city's birthday celebrations, welcoming approximately 2,500 visitors each year.
The building, constructed in 1904 by merchant Tsogto Garmayevich Badmazhapov, functioned as both the Tuvan People's Republic embassy and a printing house before becoming a museum.
