Detail InformationEdit

The museum is the newest to pop up in Nepal. This museum is primarily dedicated to the Newari lifestyle. Newars are the original inhabitants of Nepal and are mostly located in the central Nepal regions around Kathmandu. The bronze museum is housed in a newly renovated building. Most of the displays are either made of bronze or brass. Most of them have been restored and are in excellent condition. Among the displays are items of everyday use. There are separate galleries for the commodities used by common mass and royalty. Most of these objects date back to Mallas Period. Platters for worship, lamps, water pots, horns, and other items are on display to tell about the humble living of the common masses. The royal family has gifted an ornate inkpot and bookshelf that can be promptly seen in the royal gallery. The museum provides an insight of the Newars who have contributed so much in the evolution of the Nepalese society.
