Thangka Art on Display in Lhasa

The Thangka Art Expo has included almost all schools of Thangka painting. One in particular, the Menbris school, has been listed as National Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Tenba Rabten, inheritor of the Menbris School of Thangka, and Chairman of the Tibetan Folk Arts Association, said many of the painters have began studying the art form in the 1970s.

The Art Expo is a platform where they can exchange ideas and develop skills.
