A richly illustrated catalogue showcasing the diverse cultural heritage of Yunnan's 25 ethnic minority groups. This volume features over 175 pages of color photographs, offering readers a vivid visual journey through the museum's extensive holdings of traditional costumes, textiles, silver jewelry, musical instruments, religious implements, and everyday tools. More than a simple picture book, the catalogue arranges its contents thematically, inviting readers to explore the material culture and artistic achievements of ethnic communities such as the Yi, Bai, Dai, Naxi, Hani, and Tibetan peoples. The selection gives particular attention to Yunnan's renowned textile traditions—including intricate embroidery techniques and distinctive dress forms—while also featuring exceptional examples of ritual artifacts, ancient scripts, and folk crafts that illuminate the region's spiritual life and social customs.

Fully illustrated in color photos, text in Chinese.
