Simply Bhutan Museum

Simply Bhutan, located around 500 metres to the west of the centre of the city is a part of a project to conserve the culture and traditions of Bhutan. The majestic infrastructure of this museum is the epitome of ancient Bhutanese architecture, which lost its essence in the modernization era. The Simply Bhutan itself is created with the reuse of old timber, door and window frames that were once a part of ancient and traditionally demolished houses.

Traditional cooking wares and old-styled kitchens offer excellent knowledge about the lifestyle of people in Bhutan for decades. Apart from its aim of preservation of the rich culture of Bhutan, this project was also aimed at creating employment for many people. Simply Bhutan Museum is a living museum that offers international tourists an authentic experience of Bhutan’s history, culture, people and food in a single place. In the Simply Bhutan Museum, you will be offered a detailed introduction to authentic Bhutanese life by the youths.

Every visitor to this place is greeted with a shot of rice spirit called the local area. In addition, the visitors are guided through the mocked-up village scenes to get them acquainted with the story of its several parts. You can get their pictures clicked in the traditional attire of Bhutan while strolling here. You also try out a hand at archery and sing some classic songs with the Bhutanese women as they carry out their daily chores.
