Chhappan Mahal Museum
छप्पन महल
A Madhya Pradesh archaeological museum housed in a 16th-century domed building. It displays sculptures and coins excavated at Mandu.
Chhappan Mahal is a 16th-century domed structure, believed to be a tomb or palace from the sultanate era. The Madhya Pradesh archaeology department now runs it as a museum, displaying Malwa-period stone carvings, religious statues, coins and architectural fragments that help make sense of Mandu's history. It lies on the southern side of the village, about 700 meters from the Jami Masjid. The museum is fairly small and can be seen in half an hour.
