Inner Mongolia Museum

It's worth a visit. There are three floors, and each floor has about three large exhibition halls. The exhibitions of the history of Inner Mongolia and the history of Liao are particularly good, the history is clear, and the exhibits are very good. I feel that there are not many pictures posted by everyone, so I will add a few. There are volunteer guides in several halls, and their styles are different, but they are all very informative.

In China, the newer the exhibition hall, the better! Friends who like museums should not miss this one!

This vast land is rich in history, culture and ethnic customs. As a shining pearl on this land, the Inner Mongolia Museum attracts countless tourists with its rich collections and unique exhibitions. Here, you can travel through time and space and experience Inner Mongolia.

The Inner Mongolia Museum is the only comprehensive museum in the autonomous region and the earliest museum established in ethnic minority areas in China. It is a good place to learn about the Liao Khitan and Mongolian Yuan culture. We started our visit from the fourth floor: Liao Khitan, Border Years, and Dawn of Civilization. I was amazed at the well-preserved and numerous cultural relics in the Inner Mongolia Museum, and at the same time, I was amazed at the brilliance of the wisdom of the ancients. I also fell in love with the vast and colorful Inner Mongolia grassland. Through the visit, we can fully and detailedly understand the history and culture of the Liao Dynasty. Compared with the Zhaojun Museum, this place is simply too wonderful and rich. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to take a closer look at them one by one. We visited some of the exhibition halls in a hurry, and we felt that we had feasted our eyes. We left some regrets for another opportunity in the future.

How can you describe the Inner Mongolia Museum in one word? It has four floors and more than ten exhibition halls. It is worth a careful visit and is a window for a comprehensive and quick understanding of Inner Mongolia.

There are 9 exhibition halls, and it is recommended to reserve more than two hours for the visit. It is still strange that there is no exhibition hall for the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

It introduces the ethnic treasures and historical relics of Inner Mongolia. The collection is quite rich.

I spent a day in Inner Mongolia to visit the museum. I saw many of the museum's treasures and the basic exhibition hall was pretty good.

There are national treasures here, and you must see the Xiongnu crown.

The environment is good and the price/performance ratio is acceptable. It is recommended to go and have a look

You must go, the museum is well built and helps everyone understand the development history of the Mongolian people

Here is the history of Inner Mongolia, which tells you the origin of the Mongolian nation.

It is one of the better museums in China and is worth a visit.

Perfect, highly recommended. The best place to learn about the geographical features, revolutionary history, and ethnic customs of Inner Mongolia!!!

The Inner Mongolia Museum houses more than 150,000 sets of paleontological fossils, historical relics, and ethnic folk relics. I visited during the winter off-season. The opening hours are 09:30-17:00. It is free but not ticket-free. Luggage storage is available.

It rained heavily that day, and half of Hohhot was flooded. Fortunately, we went to the museum, otherwise we would have been soaked to death if we had gone to some outdoor attraction...

The appearance of the Inner Mongolia Museum is quite domineering. There is a bronze statue of a war horse in front of the Inner Mongolia Museum, showing the unique national cultural history of the "nation on horseback" museum. Go up the steps of the museum and reach the top of the steps. There are many unique buildings, which are shocking!

The Inner Mongolia Museum combines modern elements, regional representations and national characteristics. The roof is sculpted with a galloping horse, symbolizing the auspiciousness and soaring of Inner Mongolia. Since its completion, the building has become one of the landmark buildings of the autonomous region's capital. The four basic displays on the second floor of the Inner Mongolia Museum, "Ancient World", "Magnificent Plateau", "Underground Treasures" and "Flying Shenzhou", introduce the birthplace of grassland culture; the four basic displays on the third floor, "Grassland Pride", "Grassland Pride", "Grassland Customs" and "Grassland Beacon Fire", show the vertical development line of grassland culture from ancient times to modern times in the form of plate beads.

After breakfast, the first stop of the one-day tour of Hohhot city was the Inner Mongolia Museum. My wife said that I am crazy about visiting museums, which is true, because visiting local museums is the fastest way to understand local history, culture and customs. Many people would wonder why I would arrange the trip to Hohhot, after all, Hulunbuir may better represent the traditions of Inner Mongolia, but only the capital of the autonomous region or the provincial capital has a museum in this area.



The Inner Mongolia Museum is very user-friendly. Since there are not many visitors, you can directly use your ID card to get a ticket at the self-service ticket machine outside. One ID card can only enter the museum once a day. Drinks are not allowed when passing through security check at the museum, and there is a window for storage only after entering, so there are many discarded beverage bottles outside the security check. So I remind friends who are going to the Inner Mongolia Museum not to bring drinks there.



Compared with other provincial museums, the Inner Mongolia Museum is more like a comprehensive museum. The museum first introduces the natural conditions of Inner Mongolia, such as the landforms, wild animals, plants, and specimens here. It is very rich, and then introduces the great contribution made by Inner Mongolia to my country's aerospace industry. During the National Day, there is also a special exhibition of major archaeological discoveries for the 70th anniversary of the autonomous region, as well as an introduction to the history of the Mongolian people and the residential culture of the Daur, Ewenki, and Oroqen peoples in the northeast.



Of course, the museum also has an exhibition of the revolutionary history of Inner Mongolia, and finally a large exhibition of ancient creatures and their ecological environment in Inner Mongolia. The most amazing thing is the 26-day-long Chagannuoer dinosaur fossil, known as the giant in the dinosaur kingdom. This is the largest individual dinosaur discovered in Asia during the Cretaceous period. Every time you enter the museum, it is an all-round learning experience. The Inner Mongolia Museum is a place worth visiting.

The entire museum is divided into four floors, among which the Tianjiao Mongolia on the third floor is the highlight, mainly telling the magnificent "life" of Inner Mongolia. Of course, other exhibition halls such as grassland monuments and border years are worth visiting, depending on personal preference. The visiting time varies from 2 to 5 hours.

Tips: The museum is very close to Wanda Plaza, the Art Museum, etc., and can be reached directly by taking the city bus for just one yuan.

The Inner Mongolia Museum is located at the intersection of Xinhua Street and Zhongshan Road in Hohhot. The original Inner Mongolia Museum was a key project for the 10th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the autonomous region in 1957. It is the only comprehensive museum at the autonomous region level in the region and one of the earliest museums established in ethnic minority areas in the country.

The huge figure of Chagan Nor Dragon has probably become another memorable existence after the small Ferris wheel in Kobe. Unfortunately, I have not been able to forget the mundane things in my memory for billions of years as the legend says.

Very grand. Use the machine to get the ticket with your ID card. The interior is very spacious and you can visit the four floors.

The museum is free to enter. You need to show your ID card to get the ticket. Ticket collection stops at 16:30 and the museum closes at 17:15. You cannot bring water in, but you can store your luggage. I barely finished all the exhibition halls on the three floors in a hurry. You can set aside 3 hours to slowly explore the museum. There are unearthed cultural relics, aerospace technology, human geography, etc. Some exhibition halls will be temporarily closed, so it depends on your luck.

The museum is free, you only need your ID card to get the ticket! There are three floors and more than a dozen exhibition halls. We focused on visiting the magnificent plateau, Tianjiao Mongolia, Liao Khitan, and Feitian Shenzhou exhibition halls to learn about the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the distribution of deserts, and the species of plants and animals. In the Tianjiao Mongolia exhibition hall, we learned about the origin and development of the Mongolian people. How did Temujin, the leader of the Qiyan tribe, unify Mongolia, how did he expand the territory, how did the Borjigin family unify the world, and the history and culture of the Yuan Dynasty. According to the explanation of the tour guide, after the Khitan was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, the remaining forces established the Western Liao Dynasty, which was later completely destroyed by Genghis Khan during his westward expedition. Today, there are still descendants of the Khitan in Yunnan.

Very good, worth a visit, there are detailed introductions to the history and culture of Khitan and Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, very good

The exhibition hall building of the Inner Mongolia Museum has a unique shape and is full of ethnic characteristics. There is a galloping horse on the roof, which symbolizes the auspiciousness and soaring of Inner Mongolia. It is one of the landmark buildings of the autonomous region. The exhibition hall building of the museum has four floors, of which the second, third and fourth floors are used for exhibition services. There are currently four basic displays in the museum, namely "Inner Mongolia Paleontological Fossils Display", "Inner Mongolia Historical Relics Display", "Inner Mongolia National Relics Display" and "Inner Mongolia Revolutionary Relics Display". It is a bit like the Science and Technology Museum in Shanghai. The four floors are super large. You must come to the museum when you come to Hohhot! ! Among them, the introduction of Kublai Khan and Genghis Khan is the most impressive. Looking at these historical cultures today after a few years, I feel very touched. I have different feelings from that time. If there are children who have not learned history yet, they must find a guide to explain when they come to the Inner Mongolia Museum. The content in the museum is still relatively rich, ranging from heaven to earth, from primitive to modern. People who are interested should be able to watch it for a long time.

The museum is very big, with 3 floors and 9 theme halls. We spent more than 3 hours visiting (without taking a break). You don't need to buy tickets to the museum, but you need to use your ID card to get free tickets at the ticket office. This museum may be the most crowded museum I have ever seen. There are really a lot of people. However, it is really worth a visit. The decoration and exhibits inside are very eye-catching. There are many fossils of ancient creatures in a hall with the theme of ancient times. The dinosaur fossils in it are more and more shocking than those I saw in the Zigong Dinosaur Museum. There is also a hall with many plant specimens and animal specimens, as well as a science and technology museum and a civilization museum...

I like Inner Mongolia very much, I like the prairie here, and the feeling of freedom here. I will come back again.

It's very big and you need to spend a day here

The first recommendation is the Dinosaur Museum. There are so many dinosaur fossils and they are also displayed very well.

If you want to learn about the local history, the first choice is definitely the museum. It is divided into several halls. It seems to have 4 floors. I have been to every room. It is quite good.

It's free. We came twice and visited 3 museums. We used ID cards to get tickets. Even on weekends, there were not many people and it was not crowded. If the itinerary is confirmed, you can also check the museum's official account to see if there are any activities. I participated in a session of the awakened one. The explanation is divided into exhibition areas and charged separately. Each exhibition area is 60 yuan and the time is about 40 minutes. . . You can arrange it according to your own time and interests. It's good

Whenever I go to a city, I must visit a museum. My impression of the Inner Mongolia Museum is that the tour guide is really tall...

The navigation took me around twice, and I parked the car in the Science and Technology Museum at the back, but it didn't matter since the parking fee was not expensive.

The museum focuses on grassland history, and dinosaurs and prehistoric civilizations are also worth seeing. Because Inner Mongolia is the recovery area for rocket launches in my country, there is a special exhibition hall introducing rockets and satellites, as well as real rocket wreckage, which is worth taking the children to see.

Welcome to follow my Weibo: Changed a machine

It's very large and modern, but the rule that you can't bring your own drinks is a bit hard to accept, so you'll find all kinds of drinks brought by friends from all over the country placed at the gate before security check.

There are many models in the space museum. There is a return capsule that you can go in and experience, and it even shakes. But I don’t know why it is fenced off. If you go there, you can pay attention to it. It should be quite fun.

My favorite places are the Dinosaur Museum and the Space Museum. They are free to enter, but you need to show your ID card to get the tickets.

Just like the vastness and breadth of Inner Mongolia, the magnificent venue amazed me. Standing in front of the door is a large tripod that shows the martial bravery of the Inner Mongolians. Inner Mongolia in the north of the Great Wall must have many stories waiting for us to uncover. The first floor shows the natural landscape of Inner Mongolia, as well as the historical origins of the Mongolian people, especially the most glorious history of the Mongolian Empire, which is displayed in great detail. On the second floor, there are some introductions to other ethnic groups in Inner Mongolia, and finally, there is the revolutionary history of Inner Mongolia.

The museum is divided into 5 large halls. It is best to go early in the day because there are really many things to see. I went there after lunch and only visited 3 halls before closing time.

There are various scenes in the museum, all of which depict the life of Genghis Khan and the early Mongolians. The characters are all exquisite wax figures, very realistic!

The museum is very large and has rich exhibits. It is a feast for those who love the history and culture of nomadic peoples. Especially for me who lives in the mountainous area of southwest China, it can even overturn my previous imagination of "barbaric and uncultured" nomadic peoples. Here are: the exquisite golden crown of the Hun king in the Warring States Period, the silver-gilt utensils of the Liao Dynasty with a Tang style, the exquisite wooden gilded saddle, the unique Inner Mongolian chess that may have been learned from the West, and ancient rock paintings, etc.

The museum is newly built, together with other cultural buildings, it occupies a large area. Museums in the west are all newly built. When they have money, they pay more attention to cultural construction, which is good. The exhibition inside is not bad, including the general history of Mongolian people, which is a must. It is a pity that I didn't take a closer look at the treasures of the town.

The museum has a rich variety of cultural and creative products, and is laid out like a scenic spot. Once you enter, you'll be led around and around, trying to make you stay a little longer.

There is a big tripod in front of the museum. It is located on the main road in the city center, so it is a popular place for tourists to check in. The museum is free, but the ticket is not free. You need to use your ID card to exchange the ticket at the ticket machine. In addition, you cannot bring liquid drinks to the museum. There is also a free luggage storage next to the security check, which is very user-friendly. It is also closed every Monday, and admission stops at 4 pm every day. Please arrange your time by yourself.

The museum has four floors, of which the second, third and fourth floors are used for exhibition services. There are 11 exhibition halls in total. The museum is really big, and it takes about 3 hours to carefully visit all the exhibition halls. There are free explanations at fixed times every day, and you may need to call in advance to inquire about the specific time. If you don't know the history of Inner Mongolia, it's just a quick tour, so it's necessary to listen to the explanation. I am more interested in the Natural History Hall, the Science and Technology Hall and the Mongolian Culture Hall, and I am not very interested in the Revolutionary Relics and the National Relics Hall on the third floor.

The history of the Liao, Khitan and Jin dynasties, border wars and other development histories allow people to get closer to the Mongolian people in this border area.

The museum is one of my must-visit attractions when traveling. The Inner Mongolia Museum is very good in terms of its collection, decoration and explanation, and is worth a visit.

The Inner Mongolia Museum is located in the center of Hohhot, the capital of the autonomous region. It was established on May 1, 1957 and is the only national first-class museum in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The total building area of the museum is more than 15,000 square meters, and the exhibition area is 7,000 square meters. It is also an important "station" for domestic and foreign tourists to travel to Inner Mongolia and appreciate the history and grassland culture of Inner Mongolia. With its unique cultural taste, ethnic characteristics and regional characteristics, the Inner Mongolia Museum plays an important role in promoting the cultural and museum undertakings and tourism industry of Inner Mongolia to the whole country and the world.

It's very attentive and tells the history of the Mongolian people. It's very good.

Understanding the history of Inner Mongolia is not only about the Mongolians, but also about the Huns.

You must check in at the museum. The transportation nearby took a whole morning to learn about it. I felt that I was not satisfied and learned a lot of knowledge that I didn't know. I took my ID card at the door and collected the tickets by myself. I suggest that you find an explanation or follow other people's explanations. A good explanation will give you a different experience. I visited every museum except the Genghis Khan Museum twice. 😂

I can only say it's OK, the museum is relatively new and the exhibition hall is not fully open.

If you want to know more about Inner Mongolia, you can learn about their museums...

The museum is of average quality among provincial museums and worth a visit. The fast food on the first floor is OK.

It is definitely worth a visit. There are two ways to get tickets, ID card and driver's license. My experience in queuing tells me that there are fewer people in the driver's seat queue. Haha

It looks huge from the outside, but there is not much to see inside. Most of the exhibition halls are closed without permission. The service guide signs are not in place.

The Inner Mongolia Museum is very large and has rich exhibits. It can be regarded as a feast for those who love the history and culture of nomadic peoples. Especially for people from the Central Plains, it can even subvert one's imagination of "barbaric and uncultured" nomadic peoples: the exquisite golden crown of the Xiongnu king in the Warring States Period, the silver-gilt utensils of the Liao Dynasty with a Tang style, the exquisite wooden saddle covered with gold, and the unique Inner Mongolia chess that may have been learned from the West, as well as ancient rock paintings, etc. The museum also includes a natural museum, so there are more children and the visiting environment will be noisy, which is a pity.



(Updated in 2018) To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the museum has made a large-scale upgrade to its exhibitions: the Liao-Khitan exhibition hall in particular is really wonderful, displaying the real treasure of the museum, the wooden coffin of a high-ranking Khitan shaman priest, which has been preserved so well after a thousand years, and is very mysterious and exquisite, which I particularly like. It also includes a large number of the most wonderful Liao and Tang cultural relics, which are absolutely unforgettable.

Those who are interested in museums can go to the Inner Mongolia Provincial Museum. I was not very interested, so I just walked around and saw that most of the things there were about dinosaurs.

The history of Mongolia is quite large and the story is very comprehensive.

If you want to learn about the history and culture of a province in the shortest time, visiting the Provincial Museum is the best way. As someone who knows almost nothing about Inner Mongolia, I basically understood the history of Genghis Khan through this.

The Inner Mongolia Museum is free but not free of charge. There is a self-service ticket machine on the left side of the stairs. Use your ID card to swipe the ticket. The newly renovated museum is very large, with three floors in total. There are several units on each floor, and each unit has a theme. It is really large, from the origin of mankind to the aerospace of Inner Mongolia. We didn't watch it very seriously, but it took more than 3 hours. There is no guide map in the museum. It is said that it has not been done yet. The service in this regard needs to keep up, otherwise you really have to look at them one by one, and you can't choose the key points.

There are 11 halls, which are very large and take about 3-5 hours. It is recommended to come in the morning and take a slow walk. It has a sense of history and culture. No tickets are required. The explanation fee for each hall is 20 yuan. You must invite a tour guide. This is a Bluetooth headset, which can only be hired by yourself, so it is very tight. It is best to call in advance to make an appointment. The 11 exhibition halls include "Ancient World", "Magnificent Plateau", "Underground Treasures", "Flying Shenzhou", "Grassland Pride", "Grassland Pride", "Grassland Customs", "Grassland Beacon Fire", "Grassland Sunrise", "Wind and Cloud Knight", and "Grassland Splendor". I am most interested in tombs. I have read too many tomb robbers' notes. It is worth a visit.

Those who want to go there recently don’t have to worry about it, because it will be closed until the 10th due to the National Day celebration.

Ethnic minority characteristics,

There is still a lot of information.

Worth a look.

It can increase a lot of knowledge.

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Museum is located at No. 2 Xinhua Street, Hohhot City. It was established on May 5, 1957. The museum has four basic exhibitions: "Inner Mongolia Paleontology Exhibition", "Inner Mongolia Historical Relics Exhibition", "Inner Mongolia Revolutionary Relics Exhibition", and "Inner Mongolia National Relics Exhibition". They respectively display the evolution of Inner Mongolian organisms and the changes of the Gobi Desert, the history of eight ethnic groups including the Xiongnu, Donghu, Xianbei, Turks, Khitan, Dangxiang, and Mongolians, the history of the revolutionary struggle of the people of Inner Mongolia from the "May 4th Movement" to the founding of New China, and the unique folk culture created by the Mongolian, Oroqen, Ewenki, and Daur peoples.

Now the new Inner Mongolia Museum is in the east of the city. The modern building is very impressive, the exhibition hall is very large, and the exhibition content is rich. What is different from the exhibition halls in other provinces is that because Inner Mongolia left many fossil relics in ancient times, there is a very large exhibition hall dedicated to the ancient times. In addition, there are nearly 10 exhibition halls, focusing on the history of Inner Mongolia, ethnic groups (Mongolians, etc.), dynasties (Liao, Jin, Yuan, etc.), the natural ecology of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia and China's aerospace, etc.

In the museum, you can see volunteers wearing Mongolian blue vests, who will provide voluntary explanations. We met a middle-aged volunteer who is an internal medicine doctor (Xing Haiyan, female, Mongolian), who told us the history of Inner Mongolia in a very professional manner.

It looks very magnificent from the outside, and the contents on display are also very exciting. Currently, three exhibition halls are open, including ancient times, flora and fauna of Inner Mongolia, and the development of Shenzhou spacecraft. Unfortunately, only three exhibition halls were open that day, and there were still several halls that were not open to the public as the museum introduced.

It is under renovation recently, so many venues are not open.

The architectural style is indeed grand, but the exhibition hall above the second floor is not open. Is it to celebrate the 70th anniversary? I am not interested in the exhibits, but Hohhot really has nothing to offer foreign tourists. You can just stroll around. There are no good reviews or bad reviews.

Because we were celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the autonomous region, we were unable to visit the second floor, but we still saw a lot of good things. If you want to go there soon, you must wait until after June. By then, the decoration will be completed and it should have a different charm and be more comprehensive.

Inner Mongolia Museum, April 5, 2013, Hohhot.

Focusing on grassland culture, it has strong ethnic characteristics. It is a history of grassland development. It is a landmark building in the capital of the autonomous region. It is open to the public free of charge.

The museum is ingenious in both design and exhibition layout. I thought it would be arranged like other museums, but it turned out to be its own style. You can learn a lot of knowledge. The museum is also convenient for transportation and free tickets. It is worth a visit.

The two dinosaur exhibition halls (including one on the first floor) are good, but the others are a bit too simple. There are commemorative coins for sale (10, 20, 30, self-service, no change). In addition, regarding the security check and water issues, you can pick up the visiting ticket by yourself, one ID and one ticket (I don’t know how to get the ticket for children). The ticket will be punched at the entrance, and the ticket can be kept as a souvenir. The security check will go through the bag, but there will be no body search, so the water issue was not mentioned. There are also drinks for sale in the museum (causing me to throw away most of the bottle of drink before entering the museum). The tour guides all wear Mongolian costumes, which are very beautiful. The explanations are professional, but they are average (there are male tour guides, but I didn’t pay attention to their appearance, and I didn’t see any elementary school students explaining. I did encounter a lecture on dinosaurs for lower grade elementary school students). After entering most of the exhibition halls, my hair stood on end. When I looked back, I saw a staff member sitting in the blind spot next to the entrance...

There are many treasures, and the origin of Hua Xia Bank’s logo can be seen in it!

As a key project for the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the autonomous region in 1957, it is the only comprehensive museum at the autonomous region level in the region.

Very good, I went to the museum twice during this trip and I liked it very much

The museum is large in scale, and the costumes of the tour guides are particularly distinctive.

The museum is very grand, with a nice appearance and rich content. It is also a good choice to bring children to see it in the future

The Inner Mongolia Museum is simply an animal world, a botanical garden, and an Inner Mongolia folk garden. It is very interesting.

The museums in the autonomous region are different, they are high-end and free, you can get the ticket with your ID card. However, mineral water cannot pass the security check.

The museum is divided into four floors, and there are several exhibition halls on the first floor, all divided by category. I originally thought that the one and a half hours given by the tour guide was a bit long, but after a careful look, I found that it was not enough. It is estimated that it will take at least three hours to finish. After watching this, you can have a general understanding of Mongolia's past and present.

I suggest that you go for quality rather than quantity when you go, and it doesn’t matter if you can’t finish watching it.

The Inner Mongolia Museum is a place worth visiting, which covers the entire historical process of Inner Mongolia. It is very helpful to understand the geological changes, human history, flora and fauna of Inner Mongolia.
