O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Preko 3.000 drevnih kovanica i izvrsnih kamenih skulptura iz dinastije Paramara ispunjava galerije ovog muzeja. Neki od najfinijih budističkih relikvija iz obližnjeg Sanchija, uključujući originalne artefakte iz razdoblja Maurja, izloženi su na tri kata.

Istaknuto: Jedna galerija čuva originalne ulomke kamenog portala iz Stupe br. 3 u Sanchiju, isklesane s nevjerojatnom preciznošću prije više od 2.200 godina. Možete stajati na samo nekoliko centimetara od ovih nježno isklesanih prizora svakodnevnog života i budističkih simbola koje nijedno moderno dlijeto ne bi moglo ponoviti.

Insajderski savjeti

Start on the top floor and work your way down to avoid crowds, as most visitors enter from the ground level.
The coin gallery on the first floor holds rare silver punch-marked coins from 600 BCE, look for the tiny animal symbols stamped by hand.
Photography is allowed without flash, but the sculpture gallery on the ground floor has the best natural light in the late morning.
Skip the audio guide and instead hire one of the knowledgeable in-house guides near the ticket counter for a more engaging tour.
