Honouring a trailblazer

Museum of Nepali Art looks back on the contributions of German conservation architect and artist Wolfgang Korn.

Museum of Nepali Art (MoNA) is nestled inside the heart of Thamel. As you enter Kathmandu Guest House (KGH), the hustle-bustle of Thamel bazaar takes a back seat, and you enter a space that is wide and calming. MoNA is housed in an underground space of KGH. It features a permanent collection of exhibits—from the symbolic blue hues of Asha Dangol’s ‘Union in Destruction’ to the calming aura of Lain Singh Bangdel’s ‘Sigh’, among many others.
