Tibet House of Barcelona was born in 1994 as a cultural, solidary and non-profit association. The old site was also inaugurated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1994. The objective of Tibet House is the diffusion of the native Tibetan culture, preserving its ancestral treasures in their different expressions and its potential contribution to modern society and also to help the Tibetan people, particularly the exiled refugees.

After many years of hard work Tibet House became a foundation. This way we could better fulfill our objectives in defense of the Tibetan culture and the rights of the Tibetan people, the international cooperation and the solidarity activities aimed at the persecuted Tibetan people.

In appreciation of the work carried out since its opening His Holiness the Dalai Lama accepted the Presidency of Honour of the Tibet House Foundation.
