A great place to learn the history and culture of Tibet. You can see all the old coins, robes and other important stuff, well preserved manuscripts and texts in this museum. The museum itself is located in a peaceful atmosphere away from the city noise and one can truly enjoy the peaceful ambience.

peaceful and good ambience. has a lot of history. overall great place

if one is visiting north or even east/south sikkim, Gangtok sightseeing might seem bit dull for many. But one place not to skip is the namgyal institute. though small, but has rich collection of artifacts of Sikkim history coupled with beautiful surroundings and a small souvenir shop also. Some places are out of bounds for tourists though

It a beautiful museum......covering traditional Buddhist cultural..... Has information about Sikkimmes history.... Wonderful artifacts and traditional currency..... The entry fees are reasonable..... The place is highly maintained.... There is a good souvenir shop it's bit expensive.....
