Annapurna Art’s physical exhibitions bring you face-to-face with original artworks at the gallery in Bhaktapur, Nepal. These curated shows offer something no screen can replicate: the presence of real art in a real space, with the added intrigue of a hidden reveal experience. Artworks are displayed in the gallery but kept visually concealed — you scan a unique QR code at each piece to unveil it on your device, making the act of discovery a deliberate, personal moment. If you are in Nepal and want to connect with art and artists on a deeper level, a physical exhibition is the place to be.
Physical exhibitions at Annapurna Art are exclusive to buyers and viewers located in Nepal. Because the artworks are hidden and revealed only via QR code on-site, attendance requires your physical presence at the gallery in Bhaktapur.

What Makes Physical Exhibitions Unique

The QR Code Reveal

Each artwork is physically present but visually hidden. Scan the QR code displayed beside it to reveal the full artwork on your device — a moment of discovery that merges the physical and digital.

Curated Selection

Artworks are hand-picked by Annapurna Art curators from pieces listed on the platform. Every piece in the show has been chosen for its quality and visual impact.

Personal Connection

Being in the same space as the art — and sometimes the artist — creates a depth of connection that online browsing cannot match. Physical exhibitions are ideal for discovering artists before they become widely known.

Buy on the Spot

Artworks are available for purchase directly at the exhibition. When you find a piece you love, you can act immediately through Annapurna Art’s secure purchase process.

​
The QR Code Reveal Experience

When you arrive at the gallery, you will find artworks displayed on the walls — but each piece is hidden from plain view. Here is how the reveal works:
1

Approach a displayed artwork

Each artwork is mounted in the gallery space alongside a clearly visible QR code. The artwork itself remains concealed until you interact with it.
2

Scan the QR code with your device

Open your phone’s camera or a QR scanner app and point it at the code. No special app download is required — the reveal works through your device’s browser.
3

See the artwork revealed

The full artwork appears on your screen the moment you scan. You experience the piece privately, at your own pace, while standing in front of it in the gallery — a blend of physical presence and digital discovery.
4

Review details and purchase

The reveal screen shows the artwork’s title, artist, medium, dimensions, and price. If you want to purchase the piece, you can initiate the transaction directly from that screen through Annapurna Art’s secure checkout.

Benefits of Attending in Person

Viewing art in a gallery engages you in ways that a screen cannot. The scale, texture, and presence of original works create a lasting impression — and the QR reveal adds a layer of anticipation that makes each discovery memorable.
Physical exhibitions often feature emerging artists selected by curators for their potential. Attending gives you the opportunity to find and purchase work from artists before they gain wider recognition — and to support them at an important stage in their career.
Gallery exhibitions bring together artists, collectors, and enthusiasts in a shared space. Attending puts you at the centre of Bhaktapur’s art scene and opens opportunities for conversation with the people behind the work.
Even if you regularly browse art online, a physical exhibition offers something different. The combination of an in-person gallery setting and the interactive QR reveal makes each visit a distinct experience worth seeking out.
Physical exhibitions are held on an occasional basis and are not open year-round. Follow Annapurna Art’s announcements to stay informed about upcoming shows and dates at the Bhaktapur gallery.
