We acknowledge with profound gratitude the stewardship of the Bhutan Foundation and the Department of Culture and Dzongkha Development under the Leadership and Royal Patronage of Her Majesty Queen Mother Tseyring Pem Wangchuck. For more than a decade, they have led the adaptive restoration of the historic Wangduechhoeling Palace and its transformation into a Museum and Cultural Centre, ensuring that this national treasure continues to serve as a living place of learning, inspiration, and cultural stewardship for generations to come.
