Meet the Dedicated Staff of the Ogyen Choling Palace Museum in Bhutan

As I wandered through the Ogyen Choling Palace Museum in Bhutan's Tang Valley, I felt like I had been transported back in time to the 17th to 19th centuries when the Bhutanese aristocracy lived their lives. Our guide through the four-story museum was Kunzang Choden, the current curator and a 20th generation descendant of the original family. The artifacts on display were fascinating and provided a glimpse into Bhutan's rich culture and history. It was evident that the family took great pride in preserving their country's heritage.In the museum's courtyard, I was delighted to see the kitchen staff all dressed up in their "traditional Sunday outfit" and happy to pose for a group portrait - Ogyen Choling Palace Museum, Tang Valley, Bhutan.
