National Art Museum

Ticket is 150 and not included in the already expensive 2000 rupees of the square, but honestly it's not really worth and quite confusing why called National Art. Building is so so, especially compared with the museum in Patan Durbar square, and exhibits are poor. Some erotic exhibits and so on but nothing special. Maybe just take photos outside is enough. Not really recommend.

It was a nice museum ever . The people of that museum explain all the art clearly . There is the service of water. I like that magical Gautam Buddha. The old purse made my skin of deer was one of the interesting thing. Bhote talcha is the one kind of attraction to the tourist . The statue of surya and Chandra found in sidhha pokhari was also attractive. There is no word to describe this museum. Totally It become my fav place . If there is chance I'd like visit museum again. Thanks 🙏

We got the photography pass and even showed it to the staff on the top floor, but the guy, who seemed either upset or distracted, suddenly started shouting at us. It didn’t help that he was arguing with his wife on the phone shortly after. While the overall experience had its moments, it was clear that the staff lacked proper training—they seemed more like locals doing their best rather than representatives/professionals. As for the museum itself, it’s a bit underwhelming. There are some carved stones and the heritage is certainly there, but the focus on idol worship throughout the building wasn’t particularly engaging but rather alarming for us. It’s just a personal preference. That said, the view from the window is definitely worth checking out!

The Museum is small and quite old. It doesn’t take so much time to visit.

It's located inside bhaktapur durbar square. Entry fee is charged separately for this museum. If you buy a ticket for this museum, there are 2 other museums located in different places, which are covered in this tickets, metal museums and wooden museums. Make sure you visit those 2 museums too. No guides available, so you'll have to read the description for the details.

Nice place to visit. You can see lot of historical arts and scluptures that represents our culture. And the ticket for nepali citizen is just Rs 25. You can take your children for educational tour on holidays.

The National Art Museum in Bhaktapur's Durbar Square is a must-visit for art and history enthusiasts. Housed in the historic Simhadhwoka Durbar, this museum showcases over 4,000 pieces of Nepali art, including 7th-century sculptures, Paubha scrolls, Thangka paintings, and intricate wood and metal carvings. Highlights include the 9th-century stone deity sculpture and stunning wall frescoes. Entry is affordable, with combined access to the Woodcarving and Brass & Bronze Museums. A perfect destination to delve into Nepal's rich cultural heritage.

This is the Museum is the main attaction of Bhaktapur among the many other sites the ticket is really cheap and for student they do have a discount and we have to pay to have a photo or video and while visitng this museum we can visit two more museum which is located in Dattatrya area. They have preserved the history beautifully but still there seems the more area to be focused and reform..
