Description

The Winter Palace of the Bogd Khan, or the Bogd Khan Palace Museum, is a museum complex located in Khan Uul District, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It was part of a larger complex called the "Green Palace", an imperial residence of the eighth Jebtsundamba Khutughtu, who was later proclaimed Bogd Khan, or ruler of Mongolia. Alongside being the oldest museum, it is also considered to hold the biggest collection in Mongolia. The palace is the only one left of four original residences of the Bogd Khan.
