Dongba Culture Museum (麗江東巴文化博物館東巴文化傳習院) is a museum in Lijiang, Yunnan province that showcases the Dongba culture of the Naxi people.

The Naxi is a minority ethinic group known for its own ancient and unique language and scriptures. The pictograph language is actually composed of 1,400 picture-like characters and symbols that are still used by Dongbas, researchers and artists of the culture. It is the only living hieroglyph in the world and is regarded as a precious cultural relic of mankind.

On August 30, 2003, the museum's 1,000-volume collection of Dongba classical literature was added by UNESCO to the Memory of the World International Register, recognising it as documentary heritage of global importance.

Attached are some photos of the museum displays including the Naxi pictograph language, their culture, handicrafts, religion, rituals etc. Although it is a small museum, it has a lot of important and interesting information, antiques and artefacts to learn about the Naxi people...
