The calligraphy and masks were particularly entrancing.  This two-dimensional mask reminded me of something out of Mirrormask.

The propaganda in some of the exhibits was pretty heavy-handed, emphasizing the historical legitimacy of China’s claim to Tibet, China’s role in confirming lamas, the glory of multi-ethnic unity, etc.
