State Archeological Museum

The State Archeological Museum (also called Government Museum) is close to the High Court with the same red colour and architectural style. The original block was designed and built by Colonel Sankey in 1876.

Several wings have been added on in the later years, all of which conform to the parent style. The original collection in the museum belonged to B. L. Rice of the Mysore Gazetteer. Being one of the oldest museums in the country, it has an exquisite collection of coins, sculptures, old paintings, inscriptions and excavated items.

Location: On Kasturba Road, Bangalore - 560 001.
