The Fine Arts Zanabazar Museum

The Fine Arts Zanabazar Museum was founded in 1966. The museum is renowned for the works of G.Zanabazar (1635-1724), which include the statues of Sita Tara, the Five Dhayani Buddhas and the Bodhi Stupa. The Fine Arts Museum was named after Gombodorjiin Zanabazar in 1995. It has 12 exhibition galleries covering the arts from ancient civilizations up to the beginning of the XX Century. Initially opened with over 300 exhibits, the Museum rapidly enriched the number of its objects, with the modern arts becoming a separate division in 1989 as an Arts Gallery.

The Museum displays the artistic works of Mongolian masters of the XVIII-XX Centuries, coral masks, thangkas, as well as the famous paintings of B.Sharav entitled “A Day in Mongolia” and “Airag feast”. The Museum contains nearly 16600 objects. The exhibition hall regularly hosts the works of contemporary artists. The G.Zanabazar Museum has been successfully cooperating with UNESCO for the improvement of the preservation of priceless exhibits and for training of the Museum staff. The tour of the museum begins at the first floor, guiding through the following topics.
