They charge extra for photography which is much worth for properly keeping these arts. Please must pay extra for photography. It took us max 20 min to go through the entire museum.

Brief but well maintained collection of paintings mostly from Kangra valley. Nayika (naayikaa) and Baramaas (baaraamaas) miniature painting collections are special. Besides there is a smaller collection of sculptures, ornaments, masks etc too. Nice view of Dhauladhar from the premises

This place is arrives when you go towards Dharamshala from Mcloadganj. Didn't get chance to view from inside, but its a must visit. You can get pictures clicked outside the museum. Timing are 10 am to 5 pm Approximately time - 1.5 hours Amazing view. Overall a great experience.

A must visit place to immerse yourself in learning about the roots of the Thangka paintings of Tibet. The art museum takes you systematically through the history of the ancient practices of these paintings. You'll also learn about the cultural and religious aspects too. There is usually a ticket based entry but we were lucky. We visited the museum on Museum Day, so it was free for us.
