National Museum renovation to complete by next year endThe 17th century Ta Dzong, which also houses the National Museum, is currently undergoing major renovation. The Dzong was severely damaged by the 2011 earthquake. The reconstruction works, which began last year and is expected to complete by the end of next year.

Almost 70 percent of its outside walls will be reconstructed. “As per our work plans, we are hoping to complete everything by the end of 2016. So if all goes well without any setbacks we are hoping to finish renovating the outer part of the Dzong by the end of this year,” said Namgay Dorji, Project Manager.

The works are expected to be complete before or within 2017, so that the museum can be reopened coinciding with its 50 year golden jubilee.

The Museum’s Director, Khenpo Phuntsok Tashi, said that additional safety and security systems would be installed. “We only used to have tube lights in the Museum and it was hard to see, but now we are planning to set up improved lightings. We will also be putting up security cameras, smoke detectors, metal detectors, all these systems which we didn’t have before,” he added.

The National Museum of Bhutan showcases several rare artifacts from across the country dating back as early as 4000 BC to the present age.

The Ta Dzong constructed in 1649 as a watch tower and established as the National Museum since 1967.

It is funded by the government of India.
