The capital's main hub for artists, its focus is to promote both traditional and contemporary works of Bhutanese art, offering vocational training to young artists and as a creative meeting place for artists. The heart of Thimphu's art scene, its a great place to people watch and chat with artists.

If time allows it, take a visit to the Jungshi paper making factory where guests can observe the entire process of producing handmade paper with methods that have been practiced for generations. Try your hand at this ancient craft and make some paper of your very own as a memento of your time in Bhutan.
