Museum sights in Erdenet

  1. Museum of Orkhon Aimag

    Opened in 1983 and hidden in a concrete complex on the right side of the Marx mural, the small Museum of Orkhon Aimag includes a few oddities including a model of the copper mine (you can see it in 'day' or 'night') and a model of a modern ger with a TV inside. Look out for the two-headed calf, which hopefully is no indication of what the mine is doing to the local water supply.

  2. A

    Mining Museum

    The Soviet-built Mining Museum belongs to the copper-mining company, Erdenet Concern. It's on the 2nd floor of the Culture Palace on the town square, and is worth a look.
