Altai Sights

  1. Aimag Museum

    The Aimag Museum includes some excellent bronze statues, scroll paintings, some genuine Mongol army chain mail, and an interesting shaman costume and drum. Look out for the 200kg statue of Buddha, which was hidden in a cave during the purges and recovered in 1965. There may be no electricity so bring a torch (flashlight) to see the exhibits.
