Planning Around the Schedule

  • Choose your day first. Because Saturdays and gazette holidays are closed, check the local holiday calendar before setting a date. A weekday morning gives you the longest uninterrupted window.
  • Work around the lunch break. The museum closes between 1 pm and 2 pm. If you want a single continuous visit, arrive in the morning; if you arrive in the early afternoon, plan to start after 2 pm.
  • Allow time to reach the building. The museum occupies the 2nd floor of the T-Building, so factor in time to get to the Central Tibetan Administration complex and up to the floor.

What Else the Website Offers

If you cannot visit in person, the site lists a Virtual Tour for exploring the museum online, along with online exhibitions and details of temporary and travelling exhibitions. These are useful alternatives when your dates fall on a Saturday or holiday.

For any change to hours or holiday closures, confirm against the museum's own website before travelling, since the schedule above reflects the information published there.
