Artistic treasures and literary gems

If you think the allure of Prayagraj Museum is restricted to history, think again! For it's also a place where you can witness the convergence of India's most exquisite art and literary heritage. The rock sculptures in the museum testify to the ancient stories, while the breathtaking miniature paintings from Rajasthan create a visual feast that transports you through centuries of artistic expression. The museum's crown jewels include 19 exclusive canvasses by Russian painter Nicholas Roerich, making it one of only ten Roerich Halls worldwide. Terracotta artefacts from Kaushambi and masterpieces from the Bengal School of Art further enrich its cultural significance, offering you an immersive experience that celebrates the depth and diversity of Indian creativity. If you are into reading and literature, head to the museum's remarkable library, which houses 25,000 books, including rare collections from the Loeb Classical Library that bring ancient Roman and Greek scholarly works to life.
