National Museum of Mongolia (NMM)
National Museum of Mongolia houses the world’s largest and most important collection of Mongolian historical, ethnographical and cultural objects (some 60,000 items), ranging from Mongolia’s ancient past to the end of the 20th century.
To ensure the long-term preservation of the National Museum of Mongolia’s collection and improve the collection through further, crucial acquisitions the Museum organizes archaeological and cultural field expeditions.
The photographic archive is a rich collection of photographs from the late 19th century until the present day.
The origin of the Mongolian culture long predates the ancient manuscripts that first mention it. Archaeological digs have uncovered human remains dating back to nearly 800,000 years ago and it is believed that these early humans spread over much of Central Asia. Therefore, it can be considered that Mongolia is one of the cradles of humanity. Excavations have also revealed burial sites, graves, petroglyph, and tools from the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Ages throughout present-day Mongolia.
For more than a thousand years, from the 5th century BC to the 9th century AD, nomadic tribes by the names of Hunnu, Turk, Uighur and Khidan established their empires in what is today Mongolia. While some of these tribes were Mongolians, others were Turkish and Manchu. However, they shared similar culture, traditions, and customs.
In the 12th century, the Mongolians became all-powerful and singular Mongolian culture developed. Thus, the origin of modern Mongolian traditional culture is deeply tied in with that of the nomadic tribes of Central Asia.
