The Folk Heritage Museum, set inside a three storied 19th century traditional house, was established in 2001. The Museum provides visitors and tourists with fascinating insights into the Bhutanese way of life in addition to artifacts from rural households. The museum also organizes regular demonstrations of rural traditions, skills, habits and customs as well as hosting educational programs for children. The activities of the museum follow a seasonal rhythm, just like the activities of a true rural household, offering you something new to see every time you visit the place. Some objects to look out for are: a traditional water-mill with mill stones more than 150 years old, traditional style kitchen gardens with vegetables that were typically grown during the past 100 years, and one of the traditional hot stone baths that are famous throughout the country.

Tourists may also avail the special offers of the museum at a nominal fee with an advance booking of at least one week. These include demonstrations of the traditional way of extracting oil, brewing local spirits, roasting and pounding rice. The museum also organizes an open-air buffet lunch and dinner for groups of five or more offering visitors a taste of traditional dishes from every region of the Kingdom.
