MUSEUM OF KHARKHORUM
Museum of Kharkhorum
The Kharakhorum Museum was constructed at the Kharakhorum City Ruins located on the west bank of the Orkhon Valley in Mongolia with the support of the Government of Japan.
The area around the Kharakhorum Museum is registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage “Cultural Landscape of the Orkhon Valley”.
The permanent exhibition at the Kharakhorum Museum consists of four parts: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Ancient City Period, and the Mongol Empire Period, so that you can understand the history of the establishment of the Mongol Empire step by step. At the entrance, a model that reproduces the capital of the Mongol Empire, Kharkhorin, is also on display. In addition to Mongolian and English, the explanation plate has Japanese notation.
Thus, with its aims as to preserve and promote historic and cultural artifacts that relate to the World Heritage – Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape and the ancient capital of Karakorum, the Kharakhorum Museum was established in 2010 with non-refundable aid from the Government of Japan. As of today, a total of 3,128 artifacts have been registered in the collection of the Kharakhorum Museum, of which over 80 percent is taken by various archeological findings.
