O
Rýchle fakty: Bronzová galéria ukrýva mimoriadnu zbierku čólskych bronzov vrátane nádhernej sochy Natarádžu z 11. storočia, ktorá každoročne priťahuje tisíce návštevníkov. Jej areál s rozlohou 46 akrov zahŕňa šesť samostatných múzeí, 400-ročný kamenný mantapam presťahovaný zo zatopeného chrámu a jednu z najstarších verejných knižníc v Indii.
Zaujímavosti: Bronzová galéria dramaticky stlmí svetlá a reflektory osvetlia čólske bronzy tak, že ich plynulé postoje akoby tancovali po stenách, keď sa pohybujete. Hľadajte Natarádžu z 11. storočia: remeselníci, ktorí ho odliali, dosiahli takú dokonalú rovnováhu, že postava akoby sa vznášala vo vzduchu, hoci je vysoká takmer štyri stopy a váži niekoľko stoviek kilogramov.
Insiderské tipy
- Skip the crowded main entrance on weekends and enter through the quieter museum library gate on Pantheon Road instead.
- The 400-year-old stone mantapam in the garden courtyard was relocated from a submerged temple and makes for striking photos in late afternoon light.
- Wear closed-toe shoes and plan at least 20 minutes for the bronze gallery alone, its Chola bronzes are among the best examples of Indian metalwork anywhere.
- Grab a map from the front desk before exploring, the sprawling campus is easy to navigate with one but confusing without.
