Tibetan Parliament in-Exile Criticizes French Museums for Renaming Tibetan Exhibits

Tibetan Parliament in-exile expressed concern over two French museums—Musee du quai Branly and Musee Guimet—replacing "Tibet" with the Chinese term "Xizang Autonomous Region" in exhibits. According to ANI, Tibetan leaders view this as an attempt to legitimize China's claims over Tibet, accusing the museums of yielding to Chinese pressure. The renaming of the Tibetan section to "Himalayan World" was also criticized. Tibetan representatives urged French authorities to respect Tibetan identity and history.
