Gautam said the museum needs to be systematized to protect the history and draw more internal and international tourists to the district.



The museum has 52-page long birth chart of King Prithvi Narayan Shah, photographs of then kings, some samples of old arms and playing instruments.



The museum plans to set up a library, a visual room, a section dedicated to national heroes and martyrs as well as an exhibition section. The library will also collect scripts of different languages.



Likewise, it will add the cultural items of indigenous nationalities like Gurung, Magar, Baram, Chepang, Darai, Kumal, Newar, Kusunda, Bhote, Lama, Majhi and Musalmans of the district.



Likewise, samples of plant and animal resources available in the districts will also be put into display. The museum plans to spend Rs 5.4 million to give a makeover to the museum.
