Living Traditions Museum, Bhaktapur, Bagmati Nepal

Living Traditions Museum is established to preserve, protect and present the vibrancy and richness of the traditional arts and cultures of the various cultural groups of Nepal, honoring their heritage.

The ancient livelihoods of the Warm Springs people have continued to survive in many ways. The Museum of Warm Springs appreciates the arts, works, and teachings of the local community so much that we’ve continued our Living Traditions Program at the Museum on weekends throughout the summer season.

The museum has the goal of communicating the basic nature of Nepali arts and cultures,emphasizing the distinguishing qualities unique to each culture, i.e. why things
are made, how they are made, how they fit into the social and religious context.  The museum will educate visitors from throughout Nepal to a better understanding and appreciation of the uniqueness and value of each cultural expression leading to an appreciation of how diversity enriches the entire country.
