" I was absolutely mesmerized by the works of art in the museum. There are different rooms which depict the architecture and lifestyle of the 18th century. There are enormous colourful canvas, amazing sculptures, exquisite silver and gold jewellery and even kings and queens´ garments.
This is a must visit place in the Valley. "

" A very good museum in kathmandu. If you really want to see historical artworks , sculpture and paintings , this place is the best example as you can find there statues, paintings, murals, coins and weapons. The main attractions are collection of historical artworks (sculpture and paintings) and a historical display of weapons used in the wars in the 18-19th century. Very good place. Really liked it. "

" Nepal’s National Museum is located a short walk south of Swayambhunath temple, and
directly across Museum Road from the Nepal Army’s more modern Military Museum. There, at the end of a long white wall, you’ll find the ticket booth and the old museum’s main entrance gate. Chhauni means ‘Parade Ground’, and it was there in 1928 AD that this intriguing museum was first established. At first it was called the ‘Chhauni Silkhana’ and the original displays, mostly armaments, were housed in an historic old palace constructed decades earlier by Bhimsen Thapa (1775-1839). Thapa was Nepal’s second prime minister under the Shah kings, and is considered a great national hero of the country.
The original name, ‘Chhauni Silkhana’, literally meant ‘the stone house of arms and ammunitions’. For the first decade it was closed to the public and shown only to dignitaries, foreign scholars and other guests of the prime minister. The collection of armaments and other ancient items served the Ranas as a show-piece. In 1938, Prime Minister Juddha Shamsher J.B. Rana opened it to the public, and had a second building constructed for an art museum, which he named after himself: the ‘Juddha Jatiya Kalashala’. In 1967 the whole complex was given its current name, ‘Rastriya Sangrahalaya’, the National Museum of Nepal. "

" One of the city's most important museum, what you should know before visit it:
- It's a complex with three museums: Juddha Jayatia Kala Shala, Buddha Art Gallery and Natural Historical Section.
- It's the largest museum of the country.
- Single ticket is 150nr and 100nr more to take pictures.
- You should spend half day here. Museums are not so big, but they have an amazing item collection.
- Bring some snacks, there are benchs where you can sit and eat.
- In front of the National Museum there is other museum, The Militar Museum.
I highly recommend visit this place. "

" An average collection at best. Not offering much in terms of history. it has some dolls wearing costumes from all over the world and a section on funny (convex/ concave mirrors). Could give it a skip "
