    Thanks for correction of the coordinates. As a result of the wrong coordinates (pointing to Bangladesh) it was previously listed as "Site in Bangladesh".
    Changed now.

the Museum & the city of Paro is not in Bangladesh!
It is in the Country of Bhutan. Paro is near the Capital of Bhutan, Timphu.

    Bhutan is a country I would love to visit. Who can resist a place where Gross National Happiness is a priority :-)

    They seem to have a good handle on tourism, enough to bring some revenue but not enough to destroy their values.

      I recommend you to visit Bhutan. I visited it 2006 and I will never forget the
      impressions I have experienced there. You visit a buddhistic kingdom with a very old but agile culture. very mystic and interesting!
