For the 46th Time, Tibetan Activists Press Guimet Museum

Tibetan groups in France held their 46th protest in Paris outside the Guimet Museum, urging the institution to restore the name “Tibet” in its Nepal–Tibet exhibition. Students for a Free Tibet France and the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress say the museum’s 2024 shift to the term “Himalayan World” supports China’s effort to erase Tibet’s identity and history. In a public speech, 16-year-old activist Yangchen said removing the name Tibet erases a people and dilutes the meaning of an entire civilisation. Protesters called the change harmful and demanded its immediate reversal.
