  A self-consistent stellar dynamical model for the Galactic bar is constructed
from about 500 numerically computed orbits with an extension of the
Schwarzschild technique. The model fits the {\sl COBE} found asymmetric boxy
light distribution and the observed stellar kinematics of the bulge. The model
potential is also consistent with the non-circular motions of the HI and CO
velocity maps of the inner Galaxy. We also use the stellar bar model to
construct a N-body model to study stability and a microlensing map towards the
bulge, which can account for the observed optical depth and the event duration
by the MACHO and OGLE collaborations. The technique used here can be applied to
interpret light and velocity data of external bulges/bars and galactic nuclei.
