Roerich Home Museum, Art museum in Bayanzurkh district, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The Roerich Home Museum is an art museum in Bayanzurkh housed in a restored building that displays about 200 paintings. These works explore themes of spiritual development and natural beauty across multiple exhibition rooms and meditation spaces.
The building served as home to the Roerich family from September 1926 to March 1927 during their Central Asian expedition. The museum opened on July 6, 2009, in this restored house to preserve the connection between the family's artistic and spiritual research.
The museum displays traditional Mongolian artworks and Buddhist objects that reflect the spiritual and artistic traditions important to the region. Visitors encounter pieces that show how art and religious practice are intertwined in local culture and daily life.
The museum sits behind Otgontanger University and offers books and art prints alongside the painting collections for viewing and purchase. You can take time in the meditation spaces, which are set up for quiet reflection.
The museum grounds feature an iron stupa made from recycled Soviet steel, creating a quiet reminder of the region's history. Alongside this unusual structure sit 108 volumes of Gandzhur and various Buddhist artifacts, together forming a distinct spiritual collection.
