Odisha State Museum
ଓଡ଼ିଶା ରାଜ୍ୟ ସଂଗ୍ରହାଳୟ
A state museum housing ancient Odisha sculptures, palm-leaf manuscripts and ethnic artifacts, and a good introduction to the civilization of Kalinga.
The Odisha State Museum displays archaeological finds, coins, inscriptions, weapons, folk musical instruments and natural history. Its most treasured holdings are its many palm-leaf manuscripts, whose fine line illustrations are remarkable. The sculpture galleries include stone and bronze works from Bhubaneswar, Konark and Buddhist sites. Entry for foreign visitors is about 100 rupees, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It is located on Lewis Road in the city center, near the Rajarani Temple, and can be combined with the old town temples in a single day.
