Om
Hurtige fakta: Museet ligger i en slående kolonitidsbygning, der breder sig over flere fløje, og rummer over 50.000 genstande, der spænder over århundreder af odishansk kunst og kultur. Du finder alt fra gamle palmehåndskrifter til en fuldskala-replika af et tempel fra det 12. århundrede.
Højdepunkter: Møntgalleriet udstiller over 2.000 gamle mønter, herunder sølvstykker med prægestempler fra det 4. århundrede f.Kr., der stadig glimter under udstillingslysene. Et galleri rummer en sjælden samling af patta chitra-malerier fra det 18. århundrede, hvis indviklede kanter er malet med knuste halvædelsten i stedet for købte pigmenter.
Insidertips
- Skip the crowded central hall on weekends and head straight to the archaeological gallery on the second floor, which is always quieter.
- The textile gallery has rotating exhibits, so ask the front desk what's currently on display before you climb the stairs.
- Photography is allowed in most galleries but you'll need a separate ₹50 camera pass, buy it at the entrance counter first.
- The museum shop near the exit sells excellent reproductions of palm-leaf manuscripts for under ₹300, a better souvenir than anything in the city markets.
