Aimag Museum & Gallery
MUSEUM
(admission incl Natural History Museum T7000; 10am-5pm Mon-Fri, to 3pm Sat & Sun)
In the
former Government House, the thorough collections here stampede through the aimag's
history, from Stone Age and Bronze Age finds to the communist years and beyond.
Standout exhibits include a painting of Nine Punishments, one of which involves a man
wearing female underwear, fascinating war photos, some Choibalsan memorabilia in-
cluding his desk and short-wave radio (a real antique gem) and fine examples of national
costume, including a shaman's outfit and an elaborate headdress weighing 6kg.

MUSEUM
(admission incl Aimag Museum T7000; 10am-5pm Mon-Fri, to 3pm Sat & Sun)
Here you'll
find a collection of stuffed wildlife from around the aimag, wearing bemused expressions
as an unintended effect of the inexpert taxidermy, plus mildly interesting exhibits on loc-
al geology and flora. Entry is free if you've already paid for the Aimag Museum.
