The new Tibet Museum, located in Gangchen Kyishong, Dharamshala, was opened today. The museum aims to enable the Tibetan people to “reclaim the right to tell their own stories” and to highlight Tibet’s historical, cultural, political, environmental and international importance through archives, photographs and personal testimonies. The museum, a Central Tibetan Administration project, is seen as an “essential medium to garner international attention to the political concerns of Tibet”.
