Patan Museum: The Most Beautiful Museum on the Indian Subcontinent

🚩Located in Patan Durbar Square, which is known as an "open-air museum" due to its many ancient temples, Patan Museum is aptly called the "museum within the museum." ✨The museum's main structure is the former sleeping palace and courtyard of the Malla kings, and the architecture itself is an ancient work of art. The admission fee is not cheap locally, approximately 58💰. 🌟 It's worth mentioning that this is the only museum in Nepal I've encountered so far where photography is allowed without additional charges and in all spaces. 🌈This museum has provided me with the best experience in recent days. The artifacts are unparalleled, and the display and text are a pleasant surprise: ✨ the entrance to the exhibition hall first summarizes the basic hand gestures, sitting postures, and head ornaments of Buddha statues, along with their characteristic patterns and meanings, allowing for a very intuitive comparison with the corresponding artifacts. 🌟There are also of diagrams, texts, and objects regarding the spread of religion and the production steps of various Buddha statues. 🌸Light is the key to the museum, permeating its doors, windows, and three-story staircase. The display methods include built-in niches, support platforms, and suspended cabinets. Perhaps considering the best viewing angle for the statues, the cabinets are suspended, allowing you to only look up or at eye level. Apart from individual cabinets and built-in niches with lighting, most artifacts are lit by natural light. 🩵Visitors can also bask in natural light. The rest area is opposite the exhibits, with soft cushions placed by the large wooden windows. The windows are opened at a 45-degree angle, and the depth of the window openings is also well-considered, with some people napping in the sunlight on them. 🌿Outside the window is the square, where pigeons, monkeys, dogs, residents, tourists, and pilgrims freely move through sacred spaces and living areas. There is no deliberate grand spatial narrative here; all grandeur is quietly solemn in the vicissitudes of time. The world's daily life, a thousand seven hundred years. #Museum #Exhibition #CulturalAttractions #Nepal #Travel#Patan Durbar Square#Lalitpur#Patan Museum#trip diary#travel guide#Nepal trip#Lalitpur trip
