New York [US], February 4 (ANI): The Tibet Museum, under the Department of Information and International Relations of the Central Tibetan Administration, has launched an impactful travelling exhibition tour across the United States, running from February 3 to February 24.
According to reports by the official agency of the Dalai Lama, Office of Tibet, this initiative, supported by four Tibetan Community Associations in the US aims to raise awareness about the true situation in Tibet and offer an opportunity for future collaborations between Tibetan organisations and local universities and museums. The exhibition spans several key locations, including New York, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Chicago, as reported by the Office of Tibet.
The exhibition, overseen by Additional Secretary Namgyal Tsewang and Tenzin Topdhen, Director of the Tibet Museum, has arrived in the US to present a poignant look at Tibet’s rich history, its current challenges, and the environmental concerns affecting the region. Tsewang emphasised that the exhibition is more than just a display of historical artefacts; it is a means of educating the public on the ongoing struggles of Tibetans, shedding light on the critical issues they face under Chinese rule.
According to the Office of Tibet, this exhibition tour reflects the Tibet Museum’s unwavering commitment to preserving Tibetan culture and advocating for Tibet’s rights on the international stage. According to the schedule provided by the Office of Tibet, the exhibition is making stops in various cities, with the first event took place on February 3 at Tibet House in New York.

The themes covered include Dalai Lama’s commitments and aspirations, the history of Tibet, and the ongoing environmental crises in the region. According to reports, through these exhibits, visitors will gain an insight into Tibet’s historical narratives, as well as its struggles and aspirations under the current political climate.
According to the Office of Tibet, the Tibet Museum’s initiative is a result of significant collaboration with local Tibetan Community Associations in the US, namely the Tibetan Community of New York and New Jersey, the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota, the Wisconsin Tibetan Association, and the Tibetan Alliance of Chicago.
