Museum edit

The museum's mission is to spread awareness of and educate local and international visitors about contemporary Tibetan art.[2] The museum officially opened its doors in June, 2017.[3] The museum hosts a collection of works featuring Tibetan and Tibet-inspired artists,[4] but mainly composed of works created and donated by the founder of the museum, Tashi Norbu of Bhutan.[5][6] Throughout the year the museum accommodates several retreats, workshops, lectures, and performances which focus heavily on educating the public on the preservation of Tibetan art and culture.[7] The museum is run by a founding committee, with the help of more than 40 volunteers.[8]

Rensenpark edit

The museum is established in the former zoo of the Rensenpark, Emmen, Drenthe, Netherlands. Emmen Municipality founded a creative industry hub in the Rensenpark, supporting not only the museum, but various art galleries and other artistic and non-artistic places.[9]
