BAM Museum

Having moved into larger premises, the town’s friendly museum has exhibits on BAM railway history (workers’ medals, grainy black-and-white photos, ‘old’ BAM tickets), some Buryat artefacts and a few mammoth bones. An adjacent room houses an art gallery where local artists display their works. There is also a souvenir shop that peddles shaman drums amid kitschy bric-a-brac.
