## About Tibet Museum

The museum's exhibition halls are made up of four sections: prehistoric culture, an inseparable history, culture and art, and folk culture. Through Tibet's history, culture, art, religion and folk customs, they present the captivating splendour and long history of the Tibetan people. The thangka is a distinctive form of painting in Tibetan culture and history, and the most representative treasure of Tibetan art. To understand a place, visiting its museum first is the best way.
