Museum

The museum's mission is to spread awareness of and educate local and international visitors about contemporary Tibetan art.[3] The museum officially opened its doors in June, 2017.[4] The museum hosts a collection of works featuring Tibetan and Tibet-inspired artists,[5] but mainly composed of works created and donated by the founder of the museum, Tashi Norbu of Bhutan.[6][7] 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.[8] The museum is run by a founding committee, with the help of more than 40 volunteers.[9]

Rensenpark

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.
