Having been domesticated for thousands of years on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the yak is the most important animal to Tibetan families, since it is a source of meat, milk, fiber and fuel for fires. The museum, with exhibitions focusing on the origin and domestication of yaks, and yak-themed artwork, opened on Sunday, which is also the International Museum Day. [Photo/Xinhua/Chogo]
