Most visitors today come either for the shamanistic stone cairn behind the memorial (shown in a few photos above, covered in goats helping themselves to food offerings) or for the views of Ulanbaatar. Well, the view is nice . . . -

OK, a couple more before I collapse of jet-lag . . . Still at the historcal museum, some clothing. Choibalsan's overcoat in the center. While it LOOKS like what we see on Battushig's p. 20, it shows no signs of having had any awards (no holes, punctures, etc.). -

Other exterior exhibits were "gone". You may use your imagination? Next: Some "heavy medals" at the Mongolian Museum of History. (Had been there before -- with Jan -- but neglected to pay the high and silly camera fee. Went back, paid it, and again passed quickly by the pre-revolutionary stuff to get to the core items.) Don't think IDs are needed? -
