The Bogd Khaan Palace consists of seven Summer Prayer temples and the Winter Palace. The displayed items are very interesting and the ones that impressed me the most were:

•   Two musical chairs a present from the Russian Tsar Nicholai II and played music when they sat on them.

•   A fancy dress for an elephant to wear in special occasions

•   A collection of stuffed animals from all over the world made in Hamburg, Germany in 1901.

•   The toys of the little Khaan

•   The Khaan’s del (or deel) lined with 136 sable furs.

•   The Khan’s jacket decorated with 22,000 pearls

•   A GER with the outer cover made of 150 leopard skins, present to the Khan on his 25th birthday. Was only erected outside during clear weather.

•   The seat given to the Khaan as a present by the Manchu Emperor. The seat is layered with 25 cushions, one for each of his titles.
