If you're in Damphu, Bhutan and interested in visiting museums, I would recommend the Royal Textile Academy of Bhutan in Thimphu. It's about a 2-hour drive from Damphu and features exhibits on Bhutanese textiles and weaving techniques. Another nearby museum is the Folk Heritage Museum, which showcases traditional Bhutanese rural life.
