The Tibet Museum

The Tibet Museum, Dharamshala, Nestled in the scenic town of Dharamshala, The Tibet Museum stands as a poignant reminder and a beacon of Tibetan culture and history. Established in 1998, the museum serves as the official museum of the Central Tibetan Administration's Department of Information and International Relations. It is strategically located near the main temple of the 14th Dalai Lama, in the suburb of McLeod Ganj, which is known for its vibrant Tibetan community.

With a collection of approximately 30,000 photographs, artifacts from day-to-day life, and various exhibitions, the museum offers a comprehensive narrative of Tibet's identity, culture, history, and the struggles it has faced.

The exhibition aims to tell the story of Tibet through its culture, history, and the ongoing challenges the Tibetan people face.
