Om
Snabba fakta: Inrymt i en slående kolonialtida byggnad som breder ut sig över flera flyglar, rymmer museet över 50 000 artefakter som spänner över århundraden av odishansk konst och kultur. Du hittar allt från gamla palmbladsmanuskript till en fullskalig replik av ett 1100-talstempel.
Höjdpunkter: Myntgalleriet visar över 2 000 antika mynt, inklusive punschmärkta silverbitar från 300-talet f.Kr. som fortfarande glimmar under utställningslamporna. Ett galleri innehåller en sällsynt samling 1700-tals pattachitramålningar med intrikata bårder målade med malda halvädelstenar istället för butiksköpta pigment.
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.
