According to their website, Tibet House U.S. is dedicated to preserving Tibet’s unique culture at a time when it is confronted with extinction on its own soil. By presenting Tibetan civilization and its profound wisdom, beauty and special art of freedom to the people of the world, they hope to inspire others to join the effort to protect and save it.
The important aspect of the Tibet House U.S. mandate is to collect and hold in trust donated Tibetan art and artifacts, for eventual return to a National Museum in a free Tibet. Beginning in 1992, this growing Repatriation Collection of fine art contains over 1,000 paintings, sculptures, ritual objects, and cultural artifacts dating from the 13th through the 20th centuries.
