The Museum of Contemporary Tibetan Art is located in the Rensenpark in Emmen, in the north-eastern part of the Netherlands, near the German border. It has permanent and temporary exhibitions of contemporary Tibetan art.[1]

The founder/artist of the museum is the Tibetan Buddhist monk Lama Tashi Norbu who together with Artist Leela Eleni Skitsa shaped this unique museum in Emmen.

The exhibition brings together Tibetan artists and you will discover the “Tibetan Altar” , Traditional “Thangkas”, panels on the story of the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, as well as ancient Tibetan artifacts and writings, talismans, ornaments of indigenous Tibetans.

The museum aims to convey ideological concepts, preserving imprints of Tibetan art and culture, but also paying attention to “the voice of Tibet,” its cause, its land and its culture!
