Astounding artefacts await!
Venture through the museum’s galleries and immerse yourself in the grandeur of India’s empires, from the Mauryas to the Mughals. The famous Dancing Girl of Harappa, a 4,500-year-old bronze statue, whispers tales of the Indus Valley civilisation. The rooms filled with life-size sculptures of Buddha trace the evolution of Buddhist art across regions and centuries.
But ancient history isn’t all there is to the museum. You will also find stunning pieces of contemporary Indian art, making it a seamless blend of the old and the new. Its extensive collection of jewellery, coins, and arms also offers a unique glimpse into the opulence of India's royal dynasties.
Although the museum has over 200,000 exhibits, you'll only see a fraction of the collection on display, but that just means there's always something new to discover during each visit. If you’re seeking an interactive experience, the National Museum frequently organises guided tours, workshops, and cultural programs that bring India’s history alive. The audio-visual installations are perfect for families and children, making it a fun and educational stop for all ages.
