Patan Museum, Buddhist art museum in Patan, Nepal
The Patan Museum exhibits sacred art collections inside the Keshav Narayan Chowk, part of the former Malla royal palace complex.
The museum building originated in 1734 as a residential palace, constructed upon the foundations of an earlier Buddhist monastery from the Licchavi period.
The museum collection contains 1,100 artifacts, including bronze castings and gilt copper works that demonstrate the metal crafting traditions of Nepal.
The museum opens daily except Tuesdays from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with different entrance fees for international, SAARC, and Nepali visitors.
The museum space incorporates a garden cafe operated by Summit Hotel, where visitors can experience traditional and western meals within palace grounds.
