The Tibetan Medicine Museum of China is located at 36 Jing’erlu Road in the Bioscience Park, Xining. It is a national AAAA tourist attraction, the first Tibetan medicine museum in the world and the only museum exclusively devoted to Tibetan culture in China. Its functions are to protect, do research on and serve as a showcase of Tibetan medicine, Tibetan folk customs and Tibetan Buddhism.
“The Panorama of Tibetan Colored Paintings,” which is reputed as an encyclopedic drawing of Tibetan culture and arts, is the most valuable exhibit in the museum. It took Tangka painting master Zongzhe Lajie 27 years to conceive the work and more than 400 leading Tibetan, Mongolian, Han and Tu artists from Tibet, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan four years to finish it.
