Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Founder of Jonon Khar Museum, the first ever Morin Khuur museum, Morin Khuur maker, composer B.Sukhbaatar held a concert named ‘Melody of Heavens’ on April 24, Monday at the Wrestling Palace with a purpose of raising fund for the construction of a museum building.

Currently, Morin Khuur collection of the Jonon Khar Museum is kept at ‘Morin Khuur’ center, and the concert was thus held to raise fund to build a building for the museum. The museum has over 200 pieces dating back to the 1800s and Manchu era.
