The Patan Museum shows old art from Nepal in a fancy building. It's in a special place called Patan Durbar, where kings used to live. The museum has nice, beautiful doors and windows that make it look great. It mostly has statues of Hindu and Buddhist gods.
The museum has three floors: downstairs, upstairs, and another upstairs. It has a café outside, gardens, and shops with Nepal stuff. You can also go to talks and workshops there.
Inside, there are nine parts to look at: downstairs, Gallery A (where you start, learning about the museum's things), Gallery B (stuff about Shiva, a Hindu god), Gallery C (about Vishnu, another Hindu god), Gallery D (learn about early Buddhism and something called tantrism), Gallery E (more about Buddhism), Gallery F (even more about Buddhism), Gallery G (about metal stuff), and Gallery H (you can see old pictures of Nepal here).
The museum is really pretty, I think it's the best one I've seen.
