The exhibition showcases cultural relics, photos, videos and restored landscapes that record the great changes Tibet has gone through since 1959, when serfdom was abolished.

The show has attracted about 137-thousand visitors since it opened late February. All nine members of the Politbureau Standing Committee the CPC Central Committee have visited the exhibition.
