Nijmegen, Netherlands, 5 August 2025: A compelling photo exhibition commemorating the 90th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is currently on display in the city of Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and will remain open throughout the month of August. Originally scheduled to move to Maastricht, the exhibition will now continue at its current venue due to strong public interest and the desire to maintain a more personal visitor experience.

Organised by Tsultem Rinchen Dorjee and his team, the exhibition has attracted a steady stream of visitors from across the Netherlands, as well as from Germany and Belgium. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore the legacy of His Holiness through a carefully curated selection of photos and materials that specifically document His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s historic visits to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

“In Nijmegen, I am able to personally welcome visitors with Tibetan tea and khapse, and guide them through the exhibition, which we find both meaningful and practical,” said Dorjee. “The exhibition’s captions and explanations are presented in both Dutch and English, making it accessible to a wider audience, including visitors from Belgium.”

The exhibition is part of a wider initiative aligned with the Central Tibetan Administration’s Ghoton – The Year of Compassion, dedicated to honouring the 90th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The global campaign promotes compassion, peace, and nonviolence—values that are central to both His Holiness’s teachings and the exhibition’s theme.

Dorjee also expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Office of Tibet in Brussels for their encouragement and support. He extended special thanks to Representative Genkhang Rigzin Choedon for her kind words and for helping share the exhibition details with the Tibetan community in Belgium.

Members of the public are warmly invited to visit the exhibition in Nijmegen before the end of August. All other exhibition details, including the venue address, remain unchanged.
