The Patan Museum occupies a restored wing of the old royal palace on Durbar Square and is regarded as one of South Asia's finest museums of traditional religious art. Its galleries display gilt-bronze statues, ritual objects and carved wood, with clear labelling that traces Hindu and Buddhist iconography of the valley. The restoration itself, blending conserved historic rooms with modern display, is admired by architects, and a courtyard café offers a quiet garden view.
