The facilities are part of the National Museum complex, which include other museums, like the Military Museum and Numismatic Museum. There is a single ticket for all of them.
The Wildlife Museum is hosted in a building constructed by orders of Bhimsen Thapa, prime minister of Nepal in the 18th century.
Accordingly to the official website (https://nationalmuseum.gov.np/galleries/the-historical-building), "The form and contours of various animals have been prepared following the taxidermy technique and they look as they did when living.(...) Another important part of the gallery is the display of the mandibular bones of a whale, the largest among all mammals on the earth. Another equally important object displayed here is the remain of a Lycoptera, a fossilized reptile that belongs to the Jurassic period (approximately 130 million years old)."
