An amazing resource to learn about Tharu culture!
I visited Tharu cultural museum in summer of 2018. The museum started as a collective effort by the community to preserve their culture, and it was inspiring to see how much they were able to achieve. The exhibit gave a good insight into the Tharu life and their history and internal displacement. There is also a group of great basket weavers that meets at the museum, and it was amazing to learn more about their craft and cultural importance. The community was very welcoming and gave me a chance to learn about their history and traditions. I would highly recommend visiting the museum if you are in Chitwan and learning more about the Tharu community.

Great visit at the Tharu museum !
Very interesting place where you can find more about the Tharu community's history and culture. Daily objects, paintings and explanations are exhibited along with photos. This complete work gives a very rich knowledge about the Tharus. The museum is not only a place where things are showed, it is also a research center where researchers of the whole world come to give their contributions and learn more. It is thus involved in the life of the community and the preservation of its culture. 2 big assets : the persons who work at the museum are very friendly, and for those who want to dig the topic, articles are available :).
