Dongba Cultural Museum

Dongba Culture Museum is a museum in Lijiang (northern Yunnan) which deals with the history of the Dongba culture of the Naxi people. Many other countries have built their own collections of Dongba scriptures, for instance, the US, the UK, France, Japan, Germany, Italy and Austria. In the US alone, the collection in the Library of Congress plus that in Harvard University Library numbers over 4000 volumes. For better protection, research and development of the Dongba Culture, in 1984 the Naxi Dongba Cultural Museum was built beside the Black Dragon Pool of Lijiang.
