Conservation of Ethnographic Objects at Changu Narayan
Changu Narayan is one of the oldest Hindu temple complexes in the Kathmandu valley, but the brick buildings surrounding its ancient (pre-4th-century) courtyard are underutilized and in a state of disrepair. This project continues work begun under an Ambassadors Fund grant in 2011 to restore one of the surrounding buildings for reuse as an ethnographic museum.
