The Fine Arts Zanabazar Museum (Mongolian: Занабазарын нэрэмжит Дүрслэх урлагийн музей) is an art museum located in Ulaanbaatar, capital of Mongolia and founded in 1966. It exhibits collections of Mongolian masters of fine arts from the 18th to the 20th century and works in cooperation with the UNESCO for improving the presentation of its collections [1]
History
The building where the museum is located was built by a Russian merchant in 1905. During this time it was used as a bank.[2] In 1965, the chairman of the Mongolian Craftsmen's Union Committee proposed the idea of creating an art museum to help preserve Mongolia's heritage.[3] On July 23, 1966, the museum opened to the public for the first time.[4] In the period from 1966 to 1989, the museum's exhibitions were held in Moscow, Kyiv, Sofia, Bratislava, Baku, Budapest, Saint Petersburg, Tashkent, Ulan-Ude and Erfurt. In 1968, about 194 exhibitions from the People's Republic of China were transferred, being the first exhibition of foreign art. In March 1969, 76 works were transferred from the Indian Handicrafts Exhibition.[3] In 1995, the museum was named "Zanabazar Museum" in honor of Gombodorjiin Zanabazar.[5]
During the 1990s, the museum received various historical and cultural artifacts to complete the collections of the exhibits.[3]
Collections
It has 12 exhibition halls with a selection of more than 20,000 exhibits from the Lower Paleolithic to the early twentieth century. Since 2004, the museum has been successfully implementing the UNESCO project "Development of Museums and Protection of Nomadic Cultural Heritage", which provides exhibit and cartography, preservation and protection of treasures, and training for staff. The museum has collections of paintings, statues, thangkas, masks and costumes.[5] The collection includes works of art from the era of the Eighth Chebzungdanpa from 1893 to 1903, Buddha statues, and hundreds of works of art by Mongolian painters. The museum is visited by many foreign delegations visiting Mongolia.[6]
