Photographers Note
You can see here the bridge in the foreground, Rinpung Dzong (Paro Dzong) farther, and Ta Dzong (The National Museum of Bhutan) on the hill in the background.
Rinpung Dzong, also known as Paro Dzong, the massive fortress/monastery which is also the administrative center of the dzonkhag.
In 1645, the lords of Humrel offered their small fort to Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel (a Drukpa monk), thus recognizing its religious and political authority. This last began at once the construction of a fortress much more important and the dzong was devoted into 1646.
Scenes from the movie Little Buddha were filmed in and around this dzong.
National Museum of Bhutan is a cultural museum in the town of Paro in western Bhutan. Established in 1968, it was built from the renovation of the ancient Ta-dzong building under the command of His Majesty, the King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, the third hereditary Monarch of Bhutan. The necessary infrastructure was created to house some of the finest specimens of Bhutanese art, including masterpieces of bronze statues and paintings. Suitable galleries were constructed to house the extensive collections. Works of art were elegantly displayed on scientific lines.
Today the National Museum has in its possession over 3,000 works of Bhutanese art, covering more than 1,500 years of Bhutan's cultural heritage. Its rich holdings of various creative traditions and disciplines, represent a remarkable blend of the past with the present and is a major attraction for local and foreign visitors.
