Exhibition "Yaks into Beijing - Cultural Exhibition of Plateau Yaks" was displayed at the Capital Museum from December 15, 2016 – March 15, 2017 in Beijing.
Here is the introduction:
As a treasure of Chinese civilization, Tibetan culture is not only related with local people’s lives, but also with yaks. For thousands of years, yaks have been accompanying Tibetans.
The Yak Museum of Tibet is the first yak-themed museum in the world. It preserves and spreads the yak culture and explores the dependent relationship between humans and yaks. As one of the major aid-Tibet projects launched by Beijing, the museum began preparations in 2011 and opened for trial operations on May 18, 2014.
With the theme of the yak, this exhibition aims to show the yaks’ ecology, history and culture through a unique yak culture ofTibetan Plateau. Moreover, it is also an achievement report for the aid-Tibet projects, which is a way to show great respect to those who have aided Tibet Autonomous Region.
