Zanabazar Fine Art 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. The building where the museum is located was built by a Russian merchant in 1905. During this time it was used as a bank. 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. On July 23, 1966, the museum opened to the public for the first time. 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. In 1995, the museum was named "Zanabazar Museum" in honor of Gombodorjiin Zanabazar. During the 1990s, the museum received various historical and cultural artifacts to complete the collections of the exhibits. In a 1993 exhibition, the museum displayed a collection of religious objects that were hidden during the period of the Mongolian People's Republic in the Gobi Desert, which were recovered. In 2015, the museum joined the Google Arts & Culture platform and added a virtual tour of the museum's rooms using an adapted version of Google Street View.
