Lhasa’s Tibet Museum is redefining cultural education through its Children’s Experience Hall, where young visitors engage with Tibetan heritage through interactive technology and hands-on activities. CGTN reporter Yushun recently explored the space, revealing how it transforms traditional learning into an immersive adventure.
Writing Tibetan Script: Bridging Past and Present
Children practice writing the Tibetan alphabet using digital tablets that demonstrate stroke order and pronunciation. "It’s like having a patient teacher who never tires," said one parent, watching their child trace ancient characters with modern tools.
VR Expeditions: Exploring Plateau Ecosystems
Virtual reality headsets transport users to Tibet’s grasslands and snow-capped mountains, where they identify native species like chiru antelope and Himalayan blue poppies. The exhibit emphasizes ecological conservation while showcasing the region’s biodiversity.
History at Your Fingertips
A tactile archaeology zone allows children to handle replica artifacts, including traditional butter tea churns and thangka painting tools. Museum staff guide participants through historical contexts, connecting physical objects to Tibet’s cultural narrative.
The hall operates daily, with weekend workshops featuring local artisans. Recent attendance data shows a 40% increase in family visits since the interactive exhibits launched in early 2023.
