For these reasons, Wu is warmly welcomed when he goes to collect exhibits from every corner of Tibet. Locals not only donate items when Wu visits their homes, but they also trek from remote areas to Lhasa just to offer help.

The museum has also received a donation of 86 items from a Nepalese businessman. Many of its exhibits have been shown in big cities like Beijing and Guangzhou, Guangdong province. The Yak Museum is not only Wu's spiritual sanctuary, but also a place where young people can learn about their ancestors' way of life and scholars to search for different perspectives.

"Of course, one of the most frequently asked questions is 'What does yak meat taste like?'" Wu jokes.
