The nearly complete 70-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Bataar fossil skeleton has been on display in showcase to the public since it was returned to Mongolia in May 2013. The fossil that is believed to have been excavated in the Gobi desert had a long journey through a high profile legal battle from the time it was smuggled out of Mongolia.

Over the past three months more than half a million people have visited the temporary Dinosaur museum built  to showcase Tyrannosaurus Bataar to the public on the central square, Chinggis Khaan`s square (formerly Sukhbaatar`s square).

Tyrannosaurus Bataar was transported to Darkhan-Uul province last weekend for public display. The museum that was launched on October 5th in Darkhan-Uul province will be open for three months during the winter season.  Several events have also been scheduled while the temporary museum is in Darkha-Uul province.
