Museums In Sanchi

ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

Like most site museums in India, this one also owes its genesis to an English General accidently stumbling upon some ancient ruins around 1818.
Eventful archaeological explorations revealed one of the richest sculptural finds of Buddhist heritage.
The period of superb creativity stretched between 3rd century BC and 13th century AD, blending Hindu and Buddhist styles and building a complex of stupas, temples, monasteries, etc. that remain unparalleled in excellence of form and beauty of detail.
Other notable sculptures found here include statues of the Buddha,several bodhisattvas and early Hindu period statues of ganesh, Mahishasuramardini among others.
