A grand overview of India’s storied history

Noteworthy for: The biggest museum in the country, this is a cultural gateway to India.

This centrally located museum boasts a vast collection of significant Indian artefacts, and is a must-visit for those who want to learn more about the intricacies of Subcontinental civilisation. Spread over three floors are a myriad of galleries crammed with statues from temple compounds across India, finds from archaeological digs and no less than 800 important sculptures covering a whopping 5,000 years of history. The ground floor, which houses exhibits from the Harappan Civilisation, is especially interesting.

With such an immense range of information to absorb, we advise taking advantage of the audio-guide, included in the price of your ticket, or planning more than one visit.
