Palace and Museum

On September 13 I posted a few pictures of the Ogyen Choling Palace and Museum in Bumthang Valley, Bhutan and its proprietor, Kunzang Choden. Her family owned the property for centuries, as part of the feudal nobility of the time. As things changed in the 20th and 20st centuries, Choden and her Swiss husband began converting it into a museum and hotel. A very talented and engaging woman, and a prolific author as well.



A few objects from the museum, reminders of life in past centuries:
