Nepal has glorious past and priceless heritage to boast
about. The country has a special tryst with history.
From the birth of Buddha to the reign of Ranas, Nepal
has seen it all. Nepal's tryst with the history has left
many witnesses. These witnesses have been protected in
the museums and galleries across Nepal. They are being
protected with great efforts and that protection comes
with a fancy price tag. Indeed you will appreciate the
works done, in the extreme financial constraint, by the
Archeological Survey of Nepal and Ministry of Culture.
Things that have been excavated and collected from the
length and breadth of Nepal have been kept on display at
various museums and art galleries in Nepal.
The torchbearer among the lot is The National Museum of
Nepal. Situated at Katmandu, this museum has a vivid
collection of artworks and coins. There are separate
galleries for paintings, murals and coins. The museum
has many Buddhist artworks as well. The most interesting
section in the museum is the one dedicated to weapons
and weaponry. Apart from the National Museum, the museum
at Patan is a must visit too. The museum has collection
of art works and statue that numbers more than 900.
Among others, this museum stores artworks from its
Licchhavis era. It contains both Hindu and Buddhist
artworks. The National Bronze Art Museum is unique in
itself. This museum only contains bronze statues. They
range from Licchhavis era till the rule of Ranas. The
display
gallery has been artistically decorated to comply the
mood.
The National Art Gallery in Kathmandu is a must visit
site too. This gallery is housed in one of the oldest
palaces in Kathmandu valley. The gallery contains
various day-to-day items that were used by the various
dynasties that ruled Nepal. Apart from that it has an
archive gallery too that contains various documents and
official papers used by the previous monarchs. Apart
from these there are other smaller museums too such as
Tribhuwan museum that is
solely dedicated to the monarchs. Then there is Woodwork
Museum that has no exhibit as such as the building
itself is an exhibit because of its unique design and
motifs. So, if you are an art freak then there is more
than enough to see and do in Nepal.
