About This Museum
Tucked away just a short walk from the ancient Kyichu Lhakhang in Paro, this isn't your typical museum. It feels more like stepping into a vibrant, modern studio where the sacred traditions of Bhutanese art are having a lively conversation with the 21st century. You'll find contemporary thangka paintings hanging beside bold abstract sculptures, all created by living artists who are redefining what Bhutanese art can be. It’s a quiet, intimate space that truly pulses with creative energy.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning contemporary thangkas that play with perspective and color, and the intricate metal sculptures that blend Buddhist iconography with modern forms. The rotating exhibitions mean there's often something new from local talents to discover.
Visitor Information
It's easy to miss the entrance, so keep an eye out for their sign near the Kyichu temple complex. The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable artists themselves, so don't be shy about asking questions.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a modest, traditional Bhutanese-style building with whitewashed walls and dark wooden trim, it feels unassuming from the outside, which makes the bold art inside all the more surprising.
