Inside the courtyard of Keshav Narayan Chowk is a door leading to the Patan Museum. It is one of the finest museums displaying a collection of work of arts from the ancient period. This museum served as the palace of King Siddhi Narsingh Malla in the 17th century. The museum has numerous stone and metal artifacts along with paintings and inscriptions dating back to the Li chhavi period (1st Millennium). The objet d'art of this museum is a 17th century throne of King Shree Niwas Malta. The museum gives an excellent introduction to Nepal's Hindu and Buddhist iconography, arts and craftsmanship. The Gallery H inside the museum has a display of antique photos of Lalitpur and Kathmandu cities.
