Good exhibits, if you like ancient-civilisation type stuff. But we enjoyed the modern Chinese exhibit on how Tibet has changed since Liberation the best. Brilliant photography. More

There was an exhibit of local artists. Do not believe everything you read in Lonely Planet. It is important for everyone to get a deeper sense of the complexities of Tibet is needed regardless of how one feels. Like most places in the winter it is cold inside. More

We loved the historical implements, costumes, pottery, art works, photography but disliked the patronising attitude in many of the captions( a very Chinese way of looking at history). More

It's definitely not on the top list, and most people wouldn't miss anything if they didn't visit this place, but it's free, and quite a lot of items exhibited neatly, a visit is not too bad an idea. If you go there, it's worth to spend RMB 20 to rent the audio guide, it's better than your tour guide. Ask... More

A warehouse of special artifacts that can only be found in Tibet. The Death Mask section is well worth visiting. Also, take a good looka the ancient constellation map. It is very flective of what we now know is true. Also, as a lark go upstairs and visit the stuffed animals. If for nothing better than to see some of... More

Except for a few rooms of historical and cultural relics this museum appears to be devoted to espousing much about China/Tibet relations. Interestingly this part of the museum does not have English translations! More

A monument to politics. The first part of the museum has some interest as have in display some ancient Tibetan pieces. Masks, sculptures, vases, costumes... and all the stuff that is expect at a museum. With rooms for specific themes (Thankas – Jade – Procelain...), the main statement of this museum is that Tibet is a part of Chinese territory.... More
