Located in a beautiful complex, an imposing building very near to the city center, it was a pleasure to go through this museum. It gives a glimpse of the rich heritage of Bhutan's traditional textile weaving and designing. The entire complex is very well maintained. There are quite a few steps for going to the higher floor, and we, Sr. Citizens would have definitely preferred to take an elevator... May be we missed to find one in the lobby. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

This museum introduces their history of their traditional costumes and jewellery from their forefathers. No photography is allowed. Before you enter the museum, there will be a short video for better understanding. It’s not a very big place but unexpectedly we spent almost an hour listening to our guide’s sharing.

Big surrounding with parking lot. Its very clean toilet facilities are there too. Don't miss if you want to learn about textile history and culture that existed in Bhutan.

Beautiful work. It took months to make some of the textiles due to the intricate designs. They also showed us patterns made for the royal family. All handmade.

Preserving Bhutan's Traditional Textile Designs. The Bhutan Royal Textile Academy had been established to preserve the traditional Bhutanese style textile. They have a large complex which houses a museum, and rented to BPC, different offices and a restaurant. The office building is well maintained and interior are decorated with modern fittings. The offices here include BPC, JICA, ADB, World Bank, East West Safari, Bhutan for Life etc.

This museum is not for profit and having Royal Queen of Bhutan's permission to showcase Bhutanese artifact. This place is but costly which particularly charges different prices to different countries. For Indian it charges RS 💯 or NU 100 or for SAARC people. You can see major weaving habits of different regions of Bhutan along with different kinds of cotton used to knit fabrics. This place is also famous to purchase Bhutan t-shirts which you can find outside too but quality over here is better✌️☺️
