Bogd Khaan Palace Museum

The Bogd Khan Palace Museum, also known as the Winter Palace of the Bogd Khan, is a museum complex in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It was part of the "Green Palace" complex, which was Bogd Khan's royal home. The palace is the only one remaining from the Bogd Khan's original four homes. Following his death from sickness in 1924, a state museum office was established in 1926, and it was decided to transfer the Bogd Khaan's remaining property to public museum ownership.

The Bogd Khaan Palace Museum has seven Summer Prayer temples as well as the Winter Palace. The museum's collections include one-of-a-kind and valuable objects related to Mongolia's political, religious, and artistic history from the 17th to the early 20th centuries, such as bronze casting, silk paintings, mineral paintings, and papier mache icons created by well-known artists. The Bogd's Winter Palace was transformed into a museum, showing historical and artistic relics like as royal apparel and equipment, presents from domestic and foreign guests or representatives, and goods acquired by the monarch for his personal amusement.

This palace is an irreplaceable and nationally significant landmark in Mongolia, dating from the Bogd Khan's turbulent reign, during which China, Russia, and Japan vied for dominance over the fledgling kingdom. This effort helped to preserve them by facilitating the sharing of knowledge about heritage protection among international specialists, local officials, and conservators.
