    Best place to get tatoo.
    Hygienic and peaceful place. Can indulge in coffee upstairs.
    Polite and passionate artist, would listen & respect ur wish. Very precise, 1000% satisfied with Kabir's work (Laddu). I got a beautiful art than i expected. Kabir is the artist you can never go wrong with. He gave my imagination a beautiful reality with his amazing touch. Can't express my gratitude 🙏 towards him. I wish him all the best in future.

    This art gallery also contains the studios where the artists create and display some of their works. The exhibits are a mixture of Contemporary and Traditional Nepali styles. Most of the works are fine arts, although there are some modernist pieces too. Some outstanding works included “Goddess Kumari” by Roshan Dangol and the sculpture “Green Tara” by Sunny Shakya.

    My wife and I wanted to learn some traditional woodwork from Nepal, we organized a day with woodcraft gallery, although they didn't have a workshop in thamel anymore they still provided a space to teach us all the basics of tool use and helped us create a traditional piece and showed us traditional skills and how they applied in other greater works.
    They were so welcoming and patient, not only a master carver but a master teacher as well. We recommend them highly and left with our own carvings and new friends.

    I visited the Art Council today to see some contemporary Nepalese art.

    I loved the exhibition that has some very fine examples of contemporary Nepalese art. See below.

    The director took time out to show me around and explain some of the paintings.

    It was a great experience. If you want to see Nepal through the eyes of contemporary Nepalese go there.

    We bought 2 paintings from here today for 3 specific reasons.

    1: the art is beautiful.
    2: we were able to browse without being constantly pestered by someone trying to make a sale.
    3: The seller did not try to rip us off, he gave us a reasonable price from the get go unlike other galleries we went to.

    10/10 would recommend this art gallery!

    Excelent photographies of Nepal, particularly of Boudhanath stupa dating 1905, probably the oldest record of this marvellous stupa. Met with director Swaraj Man Chitrakar who kindly showed us archive photos and old glass plate negatives. A gallery worth visiting by any enthusiast in photograpgy. A great cultural legacy for all. (PD: a bit difficult to find, ask at ticket booth of Durbar Sq., ladies there new exactly how to get there)
