This museum clearly shows the recent history of Tibet and the reasons why the Tibetan People and particularly His Holiness the Dali Lama and his closest followers fled Tibet in the late 1950's and beyond. Well laid out with clear narrations in 3 languages; first hand testimony from those who have made the perilous journey over the Himalaya. . Would recommend everyone who visits this area comes here for an enlightening experience

Not high on the local tourist diary, we decided to visit it nevertheless and it was a wonderful thing we did. Archeological treasures from 7th - 8th century and beautiful paintings welcomed us. Unfortunately, we couldn't get books or couldn't buy paintings, but we need to advertise this place and encourage the artists who have painted the Kangra style paintings
