About the Museum

The Museum of Tibetan Culture (Chinese: 西藏文化博物馆), or Tibet Cultural Museum, adjacent to the North Fourth Ring Road in Beijing, China, was built with a 160 million RMB investment from the State Council of China. The museum has amenities such as a Tibetan-style café, bookstore, gift shop, performance venue, conference space, and a screening room for films with Tibetan themes. The Museum of Tibetan Culture is the sole national-level Tibetan culture institution in Beijing. It is associated with the China Tibetology Research Center. It functions as a display of the political, economic, cultural, and social life of Tibet and other Tibetan regions, providing both domestic and foreign audiences with insights into Tibetan politics, economy, history, and culture.
