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. The most important room is the one about the achievements of Tibet after “Liberation”.
Another issue was the security screening: not allowed to take nothing to the interior of the museum- no backpack (small) no water. All the Chinese people on the inside had their backpacks and water. Selective Security???
Visit it have have a opinion – For me was not that interesting.

The Tibet Museum was just ok for me. Other parts of Tibet were much more interesting to me. It seemed like the history of Tibet as shown in the museum was more the history of China's influence in Tibet, rather than just Tibetan culture.

It's very easy to get there by bus or even on walk.
But I must say that nearly all museums in China are similar. All exhibitions begin from how human being develop and yes it's true that China has so many old things to prove we are a old country. But if you are foreigner you will like it.

Tibet Museum is one of the biggest propaganda tools of the Chinese government. Their objective of establishing this museum is to give a wrong interpretation of Tibetan history.
if they are really interested in the preservation of Tibetan art and culture than why they destroy more than six thousand of a Buddhist monastery in Tibet. Therefore this museum is just showcase and propaganda purpose only so plz don't visit this museum if you support human right and cause of Tibet.

Had I not known better I would have thought from this museum that Tibet was a part of Tibet for 2,000 years. This museum is rewriting of Tibetan history at its extreme. Everything is told from China's perspective -- all biased and unnecessary.

Really enjoyed this place. I realised in visiting that I did not really have a good thorough understanding of Tibetan people and their plight, visiting this museam certainly contained a lot of information regarding Tibetan struggles and filled in all the black spaces for me, while it left me with a feeling of a heavy heart, it was a genuinely great experience that shouldn’t be missed!

This museum is well done. Information plaques are also in English so no interpreter is needed. Be aware the history is from Beijing's viewpoint and is politically slanted.
Many artifacts are on display but one is not sure what is original or a reproduction.

On the day of arrival, it was heavy rain, so the best place to begin with is the museum.
It kind of a good storytelling style of display. How and why it became Tibet, a part of China today.
Don't think too much about propaganda, just learn what they want to tell you, that's fine.

Please know that when you visit this museum, much of the history is told from the Chinese government's point of view. They present the invasion into Tibet as a "liberation" of Tibet. Be sure to read an accurate history before you expose yourself to this version of the events.
