In fact, it is a museum group composed of six museums, which displays stone carvings, wood carvings, weapons, ancient humans, ancient pottery, bronze, ethnic minorities, ancient musical instruments, popular science for children, crafts, paintings, etc. 2. Although the exterior and interior decoration are very old, there are few boutique cultural relics, but the chat is better than nothing, it is also a leisure place for Chennai people; 3. Foreign tourists tickets 250 rupees, about 25 yuan.
This place is known for preserving some of the best ancient (10-13th century) and modern South Indian bronzes. What’s more is that the Amaravathi Gallery houses marble sculptures depicting the life of Gautam Buddha dating as back to 2nd century. Truly a gem of a place to visit in Chennai for kids and grownups alike!
or upgrades in recent years. Ample car and bike parking. If this was upgraded then Egmore museum will become hot tourist attraction spot in the city. Science park is very worst. You’ll feel like entering into 80’s or 90’s time period. Nice opportunity to visit British period building and see their architecture.
This museum could use many upgrades and some cleanup, painting or modernization, but it is so interesting and fantastic that it gets a “five” anyhow. I loved the historical sections, temple art, bronze sculptures. Amazing collection! It vividly reminds me of the old Cairo Museum in its wealth and value of the collection. Same quality just different continent.Best if possible is to have a guide. The collection is huge and impossible for one day to digest.On top of it all the old British buildings are pieces of architectural art themselves.
nice. good nearby good place
