Nepal needs to update the National Museum to include the records in artifacts and photos of Bhirendra and Gyanendra. The museum is in a state of disrepair and out of date. Any comments?

Not just Birendra dn Gyanendra... I think that museum needs a great deal of work and investment. Have you been following that sory of the Buddha that was stolen from Patan and is now id Austria? Nepal government has not even officially asked for it to be repatriated! And it sound like people did not even report it right away. Plus there are thousands of other artifacts in museums and homes across the world that rightfully belong in a museum in Nepal if no a temple or shrine or whatever!
Anyhow, I always liked that musuem in Chaunni. I remember going to Swayanbhu in the morning and spending the afternoon in the museum. They have some nice stuff there, but I wonder how valueable. Didn't seem like they had much of a security system.
