Lonely Planet review for Museum

Baruun-Urt's surprisingly good Museum has a fine collection of costumes representing the three ethnic groups that inhabit the region: the majority Khalkh, Dariganga (30,000 live in the south of Sükhbaatar aimag) and Uzemchin (about 2000 live in Dornod aimag and Sükhbaatar aimag). Look out for the brass-studded Uzemchin wrestling jacket. From the square, walk 400m south and turn right. The museum is just past the theatre.

There are also beautiful examples of products from Dariganga's renowned silversmiths and blacksmiths (often these are on loan to museums elsewhere in the world), some stuffed gazelle, a map showing the locations of the 'man' and 'woman' balbal (stone figures believed to be Turkic grave markers) in the aimag, and some Sükhbaatar memorabilia.
