Yunnan Nationalities Cultures Project
In the 1990s, the main focus of the Center’s work was the Yunnan Nationalities Cultures Project.

Outcomes:
The establishment of the Nationalities Arts Department in the Yunnan Nationalities Institute, the founding of the Yunnan Nationalities Museum in Kunming, and province-wide surveys and recognition of traditional artists, musicians, dancers, as well as heritage conveyors.
