Ed_Haynes Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) I (finally!) got to this museum today (with Battushig). Very much worth seeing. One gallery deals with, broadly, "Chengis Khan Stuff". I took no pictures there.The other gallery is of more interest to me (and us?). Mosaic of Sukhbaatar as you enter the modern gallery:To be corrected when uploads become possible.
