A walk around the space is a lesson in history. Our design involved display mechanisms that reflected the stories of the Monpa craft heritage, finding ways to display artefacts that weren't always in great condition.

This home is over 80 years old and built in the traditional Monpa vernacular. The walls are made with stone and plastered in mud. Each floorboard is made from a single tree and the roof is thatched. We wanted to preserve the integrity of the space and allow it to define the aesthetic of the museum.

Each section of the space was designed with a theme in mind – Eat, Work, Play, Pray – giving viewers a complete snapshot of the Monpa tribe's lifestyle.
