The main attraction is the design of the building itself. Inside the museum visitors can see about 12000 artifacts, photos including religious documents, metal statues, Terra cottas, coins from Maurya and Khusana dynasty, and stamps from all over the world. Visitors can also find books on architecture, history, and culture dating to as old as the 4th century AD.
Glad to see great historical things ...and thank you for great management.
