"MO TU UV" Co.,Ltd
It is said that there are only two museums of mechanical toys in
the world. One of them was the international museum of mechanical
science of the merited worker Z.Tumen-Ulzii. The president of the
international academy of mechanical science, the American millionaire,
Jerry Slocum one said that the Mongolian mechanical toy production
had left already behind the world level.
Z.Tumen-Ulzii when a child found four wooden pieces with grooves
in his father's trunk. When he asked his mother what is was she
told it was the toy made very clever boy. Tumen-Ulzii tried to assemble
the toy, but he failed, he added two more grooves and succeeded
to create a figure. Since then he started to invent different sophisticated
mechanical toys. He started to collect all his inventions he made
since 1968. In 1983 he received a patent for his toys.
On the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the Mongolyn Nuuts Tovchoo
(Secret History of the Mongols) Tumen-Ulzii has opened his first
exhibition of mechanical toys under the name of "National Toy
Museum" and later has changed it into International Museum
of Wisdom at the advice of the General Secretary of the International
Intellectual Toys.
At present the museum, besides Mongolian mechanical toys, has at
its disposal toys from over 100 countries of the world. Z.Tumen-Ulzii
says that the international academy of mechanical toys has decided
to hold its regular meeting in Ulaanbaatar in 2004 when 350 creative
artists of over 100 countries are expected to arrive.

The Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts
The museum was named in honor of the first Mongolian Buddhist leader,
Bogd Khaan (a gifted painter, sculptor, linguist and architect).
It opened in 1966 and shows Mongolian art work from the Paleolithic
Age (early stone age) to the early 20th century.
Mongolia, known as the land of rock paintings, has well over 200
historical rock painting sites. Three types of prehistoric rock
carvings and paintings can be seen:the Paleolithic (40,000-120,000
ago), Neolithic (8000-4000 ago) and Bronze Age (4000-1000B.C). The
popular animal decorated style paintings are also exhibited on large
flat stones. Figures of beautiful deer sculptures are also on exhibit.
The displayed museum artwork proceeds right into the 13th century
and exhibits the supercilious portraits of the Great Mongolian Khaans:
Chinggis, Uguudei and Khubilai (which can be viewed in the hallway
of the museum).
Zanabazar's master-piece:the White (Sita) and Green (Syama) Taras
depicts the spirit of God expressed in the beauty of women.
Thanka, the portable icon painting, is done in colors obtained from
minerals and precious stones, is a graphic art piece. Silk paintings
are yet another popular attraction to art lovers who flock too the
museum.

The Camel "Living Dinosaur"
traveling museum
Some interesting facts you will learn at the Camel museum: The two-humped
bactrain camel is one the worlds' rarest and most unique camels
known to man. Besides Mongolia, the bactrain camel is also popular
in Russia and China. The Mongolian camel population is estimated
at 355,600- which is believed to be about 1.8 per cent of the worlds'
camels.
Although the Camel is a domesticated animal of herders, in relation
to the other domesticated herder livestock, the camels are by far
the more durable and better adapted to Mongolia's harsh wintry weather.
Its wool coat, which is shed in the summer, acts as an insulator
in the winter. An adult male camel can give up to 18 kg of wool
per year. A female camel can impressively produce up to 575 liters
of milk during her 18 months lactation period. A Camel's health
can also be determined by the state of their humps, which will droop
or sag when ill or thirsty. A Camel typically drink 40-50 liters
of water a day. One which has not drank for several days can consume
nearly 200 liters in a single day.
