National Woodworking Museum

The National Woodworking Museum often surprises visitors. Upon entering the museum, guests ask for the exhibits. However, the building itself is the museum and contains very finely carved pillars, windows, doors, and struts. Also, there are wood carving samples that go back to the l5th century. Wood was a major constructing item long before that time but not much survives due to the adverse effects of time and weather. The building was constructed in the l5th century by King Yaksha Malla. It is called the Pujari Math and outside the Math, you have to get out of the museum and walk along an alley where the celebrated Peacock Window is situated.
