Inside the former Government House, the comprehensive collections here stampede through the aimag's history, from Stone Age and Bronze Age finds to the communist years and beyond. Standout exhibits include a painting of Chinese-era capital punishment (one of which involves a man wearing female underwear), fascinating war photos, Choibalsan (the dictator) memorabilia including his desk and shortwave radio (a real antique gem), and fine examples of national costume, including a shaman's outfit and an elaborate headdress weighing 6kg.
