Narayanhity Palace Museum

The Narayanhity Palace Museum, or Narayanhity Durbar(formerly Narayanhity Royal Palace), is a palace in Nepal which long served as a primary residence for the country's monarchs.[1] The original palace was constructed under order of the Shah dynasty in the 18th century and destroyed in an earthquake in 1934. It was rebuilt in a contemporary style in the 1960s on the design of Architect Benjamin Polk(Chatterjee & Polk). On 1 June 2001, the palace was the site of the Nepalese royal massacre, where King Birendra of Nepal and Queen Aiswarya were shot dead along with seven other members of the Royal Family

The historical palace was turned into a public museum immediately after the country was declared a republic. It is open to national and international visitors on weekdays. The very valuable Throne and the Crown are not yet on public display due to security reasons.
