The Tibet Museum

The Tibet museum was established with the aim of presenting Tibet's history and visions for its future through texts, photographs, videos and installations. It also develops and disseminates educational programs and material relating to Tibetan history. The museum was inaugurated on April 30, 2000 and has had more than 50,000 visitors annually. The museum features our main exhibition, "A Long Look Homeward", which is divided into two sections: the first floor presents the Chinese occupation of Tibet and its results, and the second one displays Tibet's past and hopes for its future.

In addition, the museum houses the following sections/elements:

• Memorial for the 1.2 million Tibetans who died as a result of the Chinese occupation of Tibet.
• Small lecture hall/mini theater, which is used for showing historical films on Tibet, lectures and presentations relating to Tibetan history, culture and current
events.
