Sanchi Museum

The Sanchi Museum, located near the ancient Buddhist site of Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh, India, showcases the rich history and art of Buddhism. Established in 1919, the museum houses a diverse collection of sculptures, inscriptions, and artifacts that illustrate the life of Buddha and the development of Buddhist architecture. Many items on display are from the nearby Stupas, which are large dome-shaped structures that hold relics. The museum serves as an educational resource, promoting awareness of India's cultural heritage and the significance of Sanchi as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
