This tapered four-storey stone tower is new but with a design based on an historic Lhasa mansion with the added flourish of a fortress-style drawbridge. Exhibits are relatively limited but the top floor 'Faces of Ladakh' mini photo-essays are thought provoking.
The museum hides in a courtyard that also contains Leh's oldest mosque and a traditionally styled Ladakhi show-kitchen (nearing completion).
