The Tibet Museum in Dharamshala offers a deep dive into the Tibetan diaspora experience. Housed in a modest building near the Dalai Lama's temple, it displays traditional costumes, religious objects, and harrowing accounts of the escape from Tibet. Visitors can view rare photographs, a replica of a Tibetan prison cell, and exhibits on non-violent resistance. The museum provides context for the vibrant exile community in McLeod Ganj, making it an essential stop for understanding the region's unique character.
