Inner Mongolia Museum

The Inner Mongolia Museum (simplified Chinese: 内蒙古博物院; traditional Chinese: 內蒙古博物院; pinyin: Nèiměnggǔ Bówùyuàn) is a regional museum in the city of Hohhot in Inner Mongolia, in north China.

The museum in particular offers an insight into the history and traditions of the Mongolian people, exhibiting paraphernalia used by nomadic Mongols, including saddles, costumes, archery and polo equipment, and a ger (a portable tent used by Central Asian nomads).

The Inner Mongolia Museum is renowned for its extensive collection of fossils, dinosaur and feathered dinosaur remains found in both Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia including a complete skeleton of a wooly rhinoceros unearthed from a coal mine in Manzhouli.

In 2023, the Genghis Khan exhibition was replaced as part of a campaign under Xi Jinping to remove references to Genghis Khan and his origins.

The museum also contains a number of intricate Mongol bone carvings depicting historical events.
