The Patan Museum displays the traditional sacred art of Nepal in an illustrious architectural setting. Its home is an old residential court of Patan Darbar, one of the royal palaces of the former Malla kings of the Kathmandu Valley. The museum is a national treasure and an invaluable introduction to the art, symbolism, and architecture of the valley. It has become a primary attraction for tourists in Patan(Lalitpur).
