The Guimet Museum in Paris has sparked outrage among Tibetan scholars and the diaspora after changing the name of its ‘Nepal-Tibet’ exhibition to ‘Himalayan World’. Scholars, including ethnologist Katia Buffetrille, argue this change aligns with Chinese efforts to erase Tibetan identity. Penpa Tsering, elected president of the Tibetan government-in-exile, condemns this as cultural genocide. The museum’s decision reflects a broader sensitivity to Chinese influence, with increased pressure noted on institutions regarding language and representation of Tibet.
