Sanchi Museum, Sanchi, Madhya Pradesh India

 Sanchi Museum stands witness to Indian's rich religious and architectural heritage. This is an important tourist attraction in Sanchi and is certainly worth visiting because it displays several rare and antique items. The Sanchi Museum has a very verdant setting.

 In the year 1919 Sir John Marshall developed an archaeological museum. Later this was converted to the Sanchi Museum . The Sanchi Museum is presently owned by the Archaeological Survey of India. It is kept open for public viewing from 9'o clock in the morning to 5'o clock in the evening. The entry fee is also very nominal. 

Sanchi Museum was established in the year 1919 by Sir John Marshall. The exhibits from the museum were shifted from the original place to a new building due to limited space. Aesthetic displaying of the objects are very important, and that is the reason why the exhibits got shifted. There are four galleries and a main hall at the museum.

Most of the objects are from Sanchi, and there are a few objects that were taken from its neighborhood. One has to enter the museum from the main hall, and the main hall acts as the main gallery.

A classical representation of the Sunga period has been displayed in the northern wall of the gallery, and the image is of Nagaraja. The museum remains closed every Friday. One can visit the museum from 10 AM in the morning to 5pm.
