About
Quick facts: It holds over 58,000 items, including Buddhist art sculptures and Baroque period crafts. A notable treasure is an 18th-century throne made by Lahore artisans.
Highlights: Inside the palace, the Dravidian Indian art gallery exhibits many rare ancient Indian bronzes. The details of many sculptures make one feel as if they can hear Buddhist sermons from a thousand years ago. Visitors can closely examine an ossuary used to display Gandhi relics, an exhibit with profound historical impact.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes since there is a lot of walking involved while viewing the exhibits.
- The main photo spot is next to the sculptures in the Buddhist art section where natural light is good.
- Some displays in the galleries are small and require careful observation.
- Avoid weekend mornings; weekdays have fewer visitors and provide a better experience.
