Folk Heritage Museum

A restored traditional three-story rammed-earth farmhouse dating to the mid-19th century, converted into a museum showcasing the material culture and domestic life of rural Bhutan. The museum displays original household items including wooden utensils, farming tools, butter churns, looms, religious artifacts, and traditional clothing, giving visitors an authentic glimpse into the daily life that still prevails in much of rural Bhutan. An adjacent garden grows traditional crops and medicinal herbs, and demonstrations of butter tea preparation and weaving are offered.
