Tibet Museum (Lhasa)

#chinatravel

The Tibet Museum is the perfect introduction to the region’s deep and unique cultural heritage. Located near the Potala Palace, it offers a detailed look into Tibetan history, art, religion, and daily life. The architecture itself is beautiful—a blend of modern design and traditional Tibetan elements. Inside, you’ll find exquisite thangkas, ancient manuscripts, jewelry, and everyday items from Tibetan history. I learned a lot about Tibetan Buddhism and was particularly moved by the section on nomadic life and spiritual customs. It’s well-organized, free to enter, and a peaceful place to reflect after a day exploring the busy streets of Lhasa.
