About This Museum

People come to the Central Museum of Khuvsgul for a genuine and unfiltered look into northern Mongolia's soul, far from the capital's crowds. It’s the kind of place where you can spend an hour with a single, intricately carved deer stone, feeling the history seep out of it. The collection feels personal and deeply connected to the local landscape and its nomadic traditions. You leave not just having seen artifacts, but with a real sense of this rugged, beautiful province.

Collection Highlights

Don't miss the impressive display of ancient deer stones, their surfaces etched with suns and flying beasts. The traditional Mongolian ger, fully furnished inside, shows you exactly how local families have lived for generations. Another highlight is the detailed exhibit on the Tsaatan reindeer herders, complete with their unique tools and clothing.

Visitor Information

It's centrally located in Murun, so it's easy to find and a perfect stop to break up a journey into the surrounding wilderness. The museum has a welcoming, unpretentious vibe that makes you feel more like a guest than a tourist.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a practical, modern building that wouldn't look out of place as a town hall or library, its simple design lets the fascinating contents inside take center stage.
