National Woodworking Museum .

The National Woodworking Museum is located in Tachapal Tole (Dattatreya Square) in the beautiful city Bhaktapur. Upon entering the museum, guests ask for the exhibits. However, the building itself is the museum and contain very finely carved pillars, windows, doors, and struts. The Pujari Math is a museum in itself, with the very finest of Newar woodcarving including the famous Peacock Window. It is here that you will find within these walls the beautiful Newar woodcarvings which include the famous Peacock window. Also, there are wood carving samples that go back to the l5th century. Wood was a major constructing item long before that time but not much survives due to the adverse effects of time and weather. The building was constructed in the l5th century by King Yaksha Malla. It is called the Pujari Math and outside the Math, you have to get out of the museum and walk along an alley where the ceiebrated Peacock Window is situated.

The Most interest things about the National Woodworking Museum is an astounding amount of mural paintings that adorn the walls - each of a different deity, such as Dattatreya, Shiva-Parbati and Bishnu. What makes the National Woodworking Museum of Nepal of such great interest to those visiting from afar
or locally is its amazing collection of valuable wood carvings. The cost to enter is priced at Rs. 5 though there is an extra cost of Rs. 10 should you wish to bring in your camera.
