Ta Dzong Museum, Trongsa District, Bhutan
4.5 (25 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Trongsa Speciality Museums
Excellent museum in Trongsa
A stop at the Ta Dzong Museum in Trongsa is not only an excellent way to break up a very long drive from Punakha to Bumthang, but a very well done museum with a fine little lunch stop. Exhibits vary a bit, but generally focus on festivals and the deities as well as Bhutanese history.

Do not miss it
This is a very interesting place, the main attraction ( to my point of view) is the 4 statues you will see when entering, awsome. The rest of the visit deserve attention, as well as the construction itself. No photos, but go.

Ancient lookout tower now a museum
The museum is very interesting with many ancient relics and statues of dieties. They strictly forbid photography and take all cameras and phones and run you through a detector and a pat down to ensure you have no way of taking a picture. This is probably because they do not want a picture of the demonic statue on the top floor to get out. It is very perverse, grotesque, violent and graphic. Two "dieties" in a graphic compromising position while wearing necklaces and anklets of decapitated heads while stomping the guts out of two other couples in equally graphic compromising positions. This is not the image Buddhism wants to portray. Definitely not suitable for children. A must see for the history of the royal family and the Dzong. If you have made it this far into Bhutan you have already seen some rather alarming Buddhist items.
