NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM OF MONGOLIA
This museum has exhibits
featuring Mongolia’s geography, flora and fauna, including the requisite
section with stuffed and embalmed animals, birds and fish. More impressive
exhibitions are the two complete dinosaur skeletons which were found in the
Gobi – the giant flesh-eating Tarbosaurus, 15m tall and four to five tons of
weigh and the little duck-billed plant eating Saurolophus at only 8 meters. You
can see them from above on the 3rd floor. The gallery next door is full of
interesting knick-knacks like petrified wood, dinosaur eggs and huge leg bones,
which look like something out of the Flintstones. There is also a camel museum
on the second floor. Tourists need to use the map given out free with your
ticket. Currently, the museum is closed because a museum building is very old.
