The Göktürk Museum or Khoshoo Tsaidam Museum (Хөшөө Цайдам Музей) is a museum in Khashaat, Arkhangai Province, Mongolia.

History

The museum site is the original location of the Göktürk monuments.[1] The museum was constructed with the help of Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency.[2][3] It was established in 2008.[4]

The Bilge Qaghan and Kul Tigin monuments were found in the Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape UNESCO world heritage site 47 km to the northwest of here.[5] For better preservation of the monuments, they were brought to the museum, and copies of them were erected on the places where they were originally found.[6]
