Currently the museum still operates as a platform that showcases the ways of the rural tradition and practices in order to educate the spectators the native conduct of Bhutan.

Tourists have the unique opportunity to live in the history of Bhutan for little while as the tour around the museum can take them back to the olden Bhutanese days. Tourists have the opportunity to purchase Bhutan-made souvenirs and witness the various hosts showcasing activities of olden days such as oil extraction, ara(alcohol) brewing and rice roasting. After all the tiring engagements, if someone is hungry than they can also recline around the folk heritage restaurant and enjoy some traditional Bhutanese meals.
