Is the Tibet Museum open? Opening hours of Tibet Museum in 2020.
The Tibet Museum has been closed for renovation and expansion since February 20 16. At present, the construction of the main structure of the museum has been completed, and it has entered the stage of secondary structure construction, secondary decoration and equipment procurement. The preliminary plan for the opening of Tibet Museum is 202 1.
Walking into the museum, the overall structure of the Tibet Museum is clearly visible. In terms of functional division, the new museum has set up a multi-functional lecture hall, a cultural book bar, a cultural and creative experience area, a children's experience hall, a 4D cinema and other places that fully meet the development needs of modern museums. After the completion of the renovation and expansion, it will comprehensively improve the safety of cultural relics, protection research, exhibition, publicity and education, service level, children's experience and wisdom museum. Fan Guoqiang said: "According to the engineering design, after the reconstruction and expansion of the Tibet Museum, a number of large exhibition halls will be added, which can be arranged according to different exhibition contents in the future to meet Tibet's cultural propaganda needs to the greatest extent."
After the completion of the reconstruction and expansion project of Tibet Museum, it will further improve the collection conditions of cultural relics, add various modern public service facilities and various social education activity areas, and make it an important base for patriotism and national unity education and an important display window for Tibet's long history and splendid culture.
Tibet Museum Announces Closure
The reconstruction and expansion project of Tibet Museum is a major cultural benefit project in Tibet during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. After the reconstruction and expansion, the Tibet Museum will become a "first-class museum in China and influential in the world". In order to ensure the implementation of this project, the Tibet Museum has been officially closed since 20 16 12 1. During this period, other business except the opening of the exhibition hall will be carried out as usual. For the latest news, please pay attention to the official WeChat account of Tibet Museum. Please forgive the inconvenience.
Tibet is a tourist destination that many people yearn for, and it is also a place that I have been to many times. Tibet's unique customs and culture deserve further understanding. This pearl on the snowy plateau has a long and splendid history in addition to its magnificent natural beauty. Therefore, if you come to Tibet and Lhasa for the first time, besides the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, the most recommended place must be the Tibet Museum.
Tibet Museum is located in downtown Lhasa, adjacent to Norbulingka, and was built as early as 1999. The architectural appearance of the museum is atmospheric and has strong Tibetan characteristics.
However, the renovation and expansion project is currently underway, and it is temporarily impossible to visit the museum. It is reported that the renovation and expansion will retain the facade style of the original building outside the old museum, which will be more perfect than the original function after completion.
This group of photos was taken when I visited a few years ago, and I haven't sorted them out yet. Now I turn them out and recall them again.
The most commendable thing now is that most museums in China are open for free, and the Tibet Museum is no exception. You can go in and buy tickets with your ID card. There are many treasures collected and displayed in the museum, most of which reflect the characteristics of Tibetans. When you enter the main exhibition hall, the first thing you see is the treasure of this town hall: a catamaran pottery jar, which looks full and rich on the surface and has simple geometric patterns. In fact, this cultural relic has a history of more than 4,000 years, representing the highest level of pottery making at that time.
The witch lay on her back. This Thangka cultural relic belongs to Norbulingka. Legend has it that during the Tubo period, the terrain in Tibet was the shape of a witch lying on her back, which was a very unlucky feng shui form and needed to be suppressed by building a temple. Therefore, "The Witch Lying on His Back" not only depicts the mountains and rivers in Tibet, but also many temples of different sizes, and also allows the audience to clearly see the witch's facial features and figure. It is really exquisite.
The cultural relics exhibited in the museum not only reflect the unique culture of Tibet, but also witness the history of Tibet in different periods. There are many seals on display in the museum, most of which were awarded by the central government to living buddhas in Tibetan areas during the Qing Dynasty. These seals are made of gold or jade, and the shapes on the seals are mostly lions, camels, tigers and other animals, which are quite precious.
The legendary "soft hedgehog armour". Tibet's armor is very distinctive, and iron helmets are often decorated with complex patterns, most of which bear the characteristic symbols of Tibetan Buddhism. The chain mail in the photo consists of thousands of interlocking iron rings, which are both strong and very flexible.
Friends who know Tibetan areas are no strangers to Thangka. These paintings are all made of natural minerals or plant materials, and even after a long history, they are still bright and lasting. There are many ancient Thangkas on display in the museum, with different themes and painting schools, which all reflect the history and social life of Tibetan areas.
Scenes simulating life in Tibet. As foreign tourists, they rarely have the opportunity to visit Tibetan-style homes, and with the development of the times, it is difficult to see the traditional layout of Tibetan-style homes now, so this kind of display in museums is quite necessary.
Traditional Tibetan household utensils, mostly made of copper, are decorated with unique patterns and precious stones, which are very exquisite.
The scene reflecting Tibetan customs consists of wax figures and background paintings, which are quite realistic without careful reading. In addition, there are many special exhibitions of folk utensils.
Tibet has a strong Buddhist flavor, so many classic Buddha statues have been preserved. The 9- 10 century alloy Sakyamuni Buddha is preserved in the photo.
The white marble lying in the Buddha is gentle and exquisite as a whole, revealing exquisite beauty from the inside out.
The bronze gilded statue of Green Mother and Tibetan Buddhist sculpture art are the most representative parts of Tibetan culture. The best shortcut to a comprehensive understanding of Tibet is to go to the Tibet Museum. Although it has been closed for many years because of the expansion, I am still looking forward to the day when it will be reopened and feel the glorious history of Tibet again.
