Patna Museum Photos


Patna Museum is one of the important treasure trove of rare artifacts in the country. It houses close to 45,000 artifacts, but due to lack of space, many are not put on exhibition. The museum was formally established in 1917 in the present building. The Museum has the proud possession of artifacts like Didarganj Yakshi (Chauri-Bearer) and the sacred relics of Lord Buddha.
