Cultural Palace of Nationalities (Mínzú wénhuà gông)
Cultural Palace of Nationalities (Mínzú wénhuà gông) Review
Dedicated to the 56 official ethnic groups that make up China's modern population, this museum houses traditional clothing and artifacts from the country's remote border regions. Exhibits on topics like the "peaceful liberation of Tibet" are as interesting for the official government line as for what's left out. Entrance is free, but you'll need to show your passport to get in.
