Medog Monba-Lhoba Heritage Museum
墨脱门珞历史文化遗产博物馆
A small museum beside Lotus Pavilion in the county town, showcasing Monpa and Lhoba clothing, stone pots, rattan weaving, and the history of building the Medog road.
The Medog Monba-Lhoba Heritage Museum is located around Lotus Pavilion in the county town. Its displays include traditional Monpa and Lhoba costumes, bamboo and rattan weaving, stone pots and other everyday objects, as well as the story of the Medog road, from porter and pack-horse transport to its opening to traffic in 2013. It is a good introduction to the cultural and transport history of the ‘Lotus Secret Land.’ Admission is generally free, and opening hours vary, so check on site. Combine it with Lotus Pavilion, the Lagongta viewpoint, and the Sky Tibet Post Office for a half-day in town, then try Medog stone-pot chicken for dinner.
