There’s nowhere in China that celebrates the nation’s many ethnic minorities like the Yunnan Nationalities Museum. The museum is the largest museum of nationalities in China, a world-class establishment renown throughout Asia and the world.


If you don’t know anything about China’s ethnic minorities, or if you’re fascinated by their traditions and culture, then the Nationalities Museum is the place for you. It’s got collections of everything from the various minorities’ beautiful traditional clothing to their intriguing folk masks and curious writing systems. Many of these items have significant historical, cultural and artistic value – you’ll marvel at the sophistication of many of their manuscripts and be dazzled by the intricate works of art produced by a group of people that have little to no access to modern technology.
