Telangana State Archaeology Museum
తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్ర పురావస్తు మ్యూజియం
The oldest museum in the state, with Buddhist sculptures, Hindu bronzes and an Egyptian mummy.
The museum stands in the public gardens. Founded in 1920 by the Seventh Nizam, its main building is in Indo-Saracenic style. The galleries include a Buddhist art gallery (stone carvings and relics from places such as Amaravati), a bronze gallery, weapons and textiles, and an Egyptian mummy, a rarity in South India. It is closed on Fridays and opens roughly 10:30–17:00, with cheap admission. The public gardens also contain the Legislative Assembly building and a mosque, so you can stroll around them as well.
