Very nice palace. I can highly recommend a visit. Is in a good shape and also the museum has some really good objects especially the animal collection of the Khan is impressive

Spectacularly colourful and complex blended architecture in the forms of both a Summer and Winter Palace. Like most museums in the city, there's a charge for admission and an extra charge to take photos. I kind of regret not getting the photo pass. However, you can still take photos of the outside. The Winter Palace which looks more Western in design and white, was actually created with Russian architecture and design in mind. The Summer Palace, however, had a more Buddhist royal style and structure. One of the large gates was even built with no nails, instead substituting them for complex interlocking wooden joints. The history that is offered up along with the feats for the eyes make this a great museum.

The condition of the pavement is not well maintained Many parts of the building is not restored Museum collection is average

Fascinating place, well worth a visit. No photos allowed inside the palace compound - the ones with this report are from outside

A Magnificent Palace for taking a close look at the wooden structure in building.

Ancient place in ghe capital city Mongolia

Absolutely loved it, the winter palace of kings and queens past is remarkably well preserved but in need of some restoration. The exhibition of the lifestyle of royalty and the collection of art and artifacts inside the palace was well curated. It was 15,000 MNT to enter but no photos allowed after entering the big gates. As you enter you first see the statues and applique Buddhist artworks that are beautiful. After this section the Russian inspired fusion works inside the winter palace are truly wonderful too. I especially enjoyed seeing the exquisite royal garb and jewelry as well as the unique beds, exuberant monk chairs, thrones and the leopard skin ger was well preserved too.

Easy to go in the middle of town, photo shoot cost some price

One of the best destination for tourist to see about Mongolian last king's Winter palace and his things. And you will see little zoo.

Quite interesting. Very different from other Mongolian heritage. The palace of the 20th century religious leader had clear manchu influence, from the 2 centuries of rule prior to him

This museum was a surprise! I chanced upon it while walking back to the city center from the cashmere factory store nearby. I initially thought that the whole place is under renovation — it is, but they are still open for visitors! Admission is at 15000 MNT and a nice student guide offered to do a tour which was awesome. This palace is so interesting, has a lot of well preserved artifacts throughout Mongolian history. It has an art shop inside with interesting souvenirs too. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself with a few hours or days in Ulanbataar.

Another good place to visit in Ulaambataar. There are some lovely pieces of authentic buddhist art and iconography that survived the cultural purge. This can be a little tricky to find in situ in Mongolia so definitely worth a visit. It's a little pricey and if you want to take photos or videos you have to pay a great deal more. The museum has explanations in English and provides some great insight into the reign of the last Khaans.

Somewhat small museum. Entry fee is 8000 tugrug. A lot of important religious items and ceremony paraphernalia are on display. No photography allowed inside the palace compounds. The guide only speaks Mongolian, Russian & Korean. In comparison, my visit to Gandan monastery was more interesting to me personally

One of the better museums in the city - everything is well described and beautifully preserved

lt's worth visiting. The most interesting place is Winter Palace. Who could have thought that there l could see the yurt made of leopard 's skin, exquisite Chinese porcelain and elegant wooden furniture.

Many ancient art exhibitions Come to this place for art, not for the temple. Because the temple is really dry so most wooden architecture are cracking, there are parts being repainted but very little. No photos inside the area unless paid.

Pricey for what it is as most of it is under construction at the time of writing this. The Gandan monastery is half the price and more worth your money - go in the morning for the chanting. Some staff speak English but it’s a bit basic and did not really explain the site at all and provided no map. Not much information to read but nice collections and architecture.

Great history but really should be protected for the future with a renovation.

Good place pretty historically accurate stuff but its cold so wear warm things

I had an issue with paying the entrance fee. ONLY ACCEPT MONGOLIAN CARDS OR CASH. The guide could not answer my questions and needs to educate them. Every description of the picture needs more detailed explanation instead max ten words. Otherwise very pleasant and peaceful place that you can escape from the noise of the city.

Quite the learning experience, I have really enjoyed my time within this location and Mongolia itself. Great place to visit with the family as the kids can learn some great life experiences.

Fascinating artifacts on display, so much amazing history and the buildings were incredible

A special temple and many contents on Buddhism but there were preparations for a private ceremony and another private photo capturing makes my visit uncomfortable...

Sehr schönes und interessantes Museum, welches sein Geld auf jeden Fall wert ist. Es gab auch einen Guide der einen zwar nicht führt, aber allerhand erklären kann. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es dafür, dass der Zustand der Gebäude leider nicht so gut ist und eine Restaurierung notwendig wäre. Da hätte man beim neuen Chingghis Khan Museum einen Stock weniger bauen können und das Geld da reinstecken können.

Great historical & famous place of Mongolia

Really worth the visit. Takes about 1.5-2 hours to see everything. English signed and plan available

It was a precious vacation for me. Getting the knowledge about Mongolia's XX centuries history and religious philosophy of Buddhism
