The National Museum is one of the main attractions in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Also known as the Rashtriya Sangrahalaya among the locals, the complex of buildings lies on the bottom level of Swayambhu, a holy hill in the Kathmandu Valley. During its history, it was also known as the Silkhana Museum. The tourist attraction includes buildings, gardens, and open space in its compound and displays rare and historic art. The original building was an Arsenal house built in 1824. It’s a wonderful place to learn about local history and appreciate Buddhist artwork.
