A small archaeological museum north of the temple, displaying carved fragments left by successive Somnath temples and local artifacts.
The Prabhas Patan Museum sits north of the main temple, in a converted old building. It displays stone carvings, lintels, and capital fragments left from the Somnath temples destroyed over the centuries, along with pottery and coins excavated in the Prabhas Patan area, showing how temple architecture changed across different eras. Exhibit labels are mainly in Gujarati and English. Admission is inexpensive. A visit takes about half an hour to an hour. Opening hours are roughly 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and the museum is generally closed on Wednesdays and public holidays.
