The Tharu people lived in the Chitwan forests long before the park was created, and this small museum near Sauraha explains their history, houses, farming, fishing and festivals. Displays include traditional tools, costumes and models of Tharu homes. It gives useful background before a Tharu stick dance show in Sauraha or a walk through a nearby village. Expect a modest local museum rather than a large gallery.
