Titled "Tibet of China: Past and Present," the exhibition covers the time of Tibet's Feudal Serfdom, the central government's administration of Tibet since the 13th century and the changing prosperous new Tibet of today.
Exhibits including pictures offer proof of the backwardness and darkness of Old Tibet's Serf system. Serfs were deprived of any human rights and were cruelly treated under the social mechanism then in place.
One Tibetan student said "This exhibition helps me know my own ethnic history and culture. It's the first time that I've heard that Tibetans used to live under the cruel serfdom."
