Potala Palace Museum
Potala Palace Museum submitted by DrewParsons : The Potala, December 2019 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Museum in Lhasa, Tibet

The Potala Palace Museum is located at the foot of the Potala in Lhasa. It is situated in a new building which contains items dated from a reported 40,000 years ago, including stone age microliths and stone cores through to more recent history in Tibet. When I visited the museum in December 2019 photography inside the museum was prohibited so just a photo of the Potala is added here.
