    Very educational. Makes for a nice 1 hour visit .
    The museum houses lots of traditional Bhutanese gho and kiras as well as laya etc which are the traditional dress of Bhutan with variation depending on the area they originate . A lot of material has been contributed by the royal family . There are some nice educational videos about the origin of the dress and it’s use etc . I enjoyed this visit . As opposed to the museum shop I would recommend buying a dress if desired in paro . Lots of options there .

    Textile of learning
    It place to understand Bhutan textile industry, the many type of tribes wearing, style, colour, material, etc. It takes a hard work to weave a small piece of fabric and the style individual had.
