We paid the hefty price in order to take photos, but shouldn't have bothered because, there were many parts where all photos were prohibited, That said , there are no postcards on sale of the palace interior either. First we looked round the Bogdi's visitor's rooms in the grounds which are beautifully painted and decorated and then moved on to the palace which has furniture, including the beds of both him and his wife, his toys when he was a boy and his bizarre collection of stuffed animals, birds and fish from all over the world which were hideous. There are also robes and costumes which they wore and photos of them in the state rooms.There is also his yurt made from the skins of snow leopards. Apparently they spent 20 winters at this palace

While the palace museum looked very overgrown and in need of paint the visit was fantastic. Many of the museums in Mongolia either forbid interior pictures or charge a fee- wish they had postcards available of the items you saw but they don't. Displays had good English descriptions. Gift shop reasonable prices. Gentleman doing calligraphy in interior gardens was reasonably priced- $ 5 or $ 10 US for your name in Mongolian script- a most unusual souvenir and well protected in a plastic seal.

The library and monastery was nice but the house did not have as many personal belongings or touches as I had hoped. The outside buildings were very interesting and had an impressive set of Buddhas

Beautifully preserved palace / museum of Bogd Khan. It is very encouraging to see the efforts placed in restoring the Palace to its former glory. Situated in the center of UB the Palace Museum has a good collection of Buddhist artefacts, Costumes of the Khans, and the intricately carved and paintings. There main entrance to the Palace is in itself a piece of art ; a place for architecture lovers. The museum gives a good view of Bogh Khan's possessions, his interests and his pet elephant. Entrance fees are ok but the fees for taking photos is pretty high. Do not try to sneak a snap or two, as the palace museum are well fitted with CCTVs. A must see to learn a bit of the Mongolian History . Rustic and peaceful place.

This is a fascinating palace/museum if you're interested in architecture and Mongolian history. This is the palace of the Bogd Khan (emperor of Mongolia), end 19th century earlier 20th century. This palace has 6 temples within it featuring sculptures and paintings. It's one of very few places the Soviets and communist Mongolians didn't destroy so it's worth the the visit! Displayed there are his possessions, hunting trophies, his ceremonial ger which he had inside the palace, and lots of jewelry and the story of his pet elephant. Very cool place. Highly recommend it!
