Museum of Nepali Art wants to change Nepal’s art scene in artists’ honour

Everyone swarms around Lok Chitrakar as he enters the Museum of Nepali Art (MONA) to unveil his painting that he has been working on for the past 25 years. Among his peers and art lovers, Chitrakar is a superstar. During the time he is at MONA, he is drilled with questions about his work. And with a bright smile on his face, he answers them all.

“It feels great,” says Chitrakar. “Places like these are important for artists. This will give us the motivation and the audience and the idea of how good Nepali artists are. Kudos to the team!”
