Patna Museum is a classic, old-style museum known for archaeology and heritage collections—ideal if you want to see Bihar’s ancient and early historic legacy in one place. It’s famous for signature objects and sculptures and has the feel of a “heritage institution,” with galleries that connect Patna (ancient Pataliputra region) to broader Indian history.
About this place
History & highlights
Founded on 3 April 1917 during the British period, the museum developed as Bihar’s major provincial collection space after administrative changes in the early 1900s. Over time, many key collections were later transferred/expanded through the newer Bihar Museum, but Patna Museum remains historically significant as one of the earliest organized heritage institutions in the region.
