Zavkhan History Museum

Western Mongolia


This decent aimag museum contains the bone of a mammoth, some fine religious art and a coral tsam mask, worn during lama dances. There are also a few photographs of Uliastai taken in the early 20th century, a wall map depicting Uliastai's layout when it was a garrison, and some grisly reminders of the Manchu era in the form of shackles and torture devices.
