The Tibet Museum's mission is to document, preserve, research, exhibit and educate the public on all matters related to the Tibetan history and culture. Initially named the Tibetan National Commemoration and Documentation Center, many different ideas were discussed before the final concept was agreed upon by the [[Central Tibetan Administration]]. On 30 April 2000, the [[14th Dalai Lama]] inaugurated the museum in a ceremony attended by around 300 dignitaries and volunteers. The Tibet Museum presents Tibet's history and visions for its future through texts, photographs, videos and installations.<ref name="asbs"/>
