Music Museum of Nepal

Reviewed By Murchungaa - Montreal, Canada

The Museum was founded in the year 1995 with a view of collecting, preserving and glorifying Nepali folk musical instruments. There are more than 100 ethnic groups in Nepal, each with their own culture and traditions to mark every occasion from birth to death with music. The museum holding a collection of 655 distinct Nepali folk musical instruments. Not easy to find, like all treasures, but when you will find it, you will really appreciate it!

There are so many museums and heritage sites in Kathmandu, that everybody knows about but Taragaon is one of its kind. Not many people within the city know about this place but you have to visit it to believe it. The museum houses drawings, sketches,paintings and other important documents that dates back in history. All of the photographs and sketches that are housed in the museum are donated by the artists themselves.
