Why go
Metal sculpture galleries give Hindu and Buddhist art the space and explanation that a quick walk across the palace square cannot. The restored courtyards also let you see the building that houses the collection. Plan this as an indoor extension to Patan Durbar Square, with enough time to look at the objects rather than simply passing through.
What to look for
- Metal sculpture galleries
- Restored palace courtyards
