For more information about this site see UBR 911 AM.pdf or entry for Bogd khaanii nogoon sum in Old Monasteries (pdf) on www.mongoliantemples.net/en. After the Yellow Palace, the winter residence of the jewtsündamba khutagts, was burned down in 1892, a new palace called the Green Palace was built between 1893 and 1903 on the right bank of Tuul River (Oyuunbileg, pp. 248-550.). The two-storey white building of the Winter palace (one of the buildings of the Green Palace complex) was built in 1905, with its design based on a picture sent by the Russian tsar to the Bogd khaan. This is where the 8th jewtsündamba khutagt with his wife, the Ekh dagina, lived until his death in 1924. The Green Palace survived the destructions almost intact, and was turned into a museum from 1926, two years after the death of the Bogd khaan, where some of the most precious Mongolian Buddhist artifacts are still held.
Winter palace
The two-storey white building of the old Winter palace currently contains many of the Bogd khaan’s personal artifacts such as his costumes and robes, hats and jewels, his throne as well as his and his wife’s beds. Also on display are a collection of gifts received from foreign dignitaries, and a collection of stuffed animals, etc. Jügder’s original painting of Ikh Khüree and a painting showing the Khaistai ordon (See entry Rinchen 921) are also exhibited. There is a reception room on the first floor with a staircase leading to the second floor.
