FAQs On Archaeological Museum

Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, India
A Historical Overview of the Museum: The Archaeological Museum was originally established in 1910 by W.A. Jardine, a British political agent, and was initially named the Jardine Museum. It was later taken over by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and renamed. Its primary function is to preser ve and display the detached and fragmented sculptures and architectural pieces recovered from the ruins of the various Khajuraho temples. The collection is extensive, housing over 2,000 artifacts, and provides a crucial context for understanding the temples before visiting them. The exhibits are categorized to represent the three main faiths in the region during the 10th to 12th centuries A.D.: Hindu (Brahmanical), Buddhist, and Jain. The museum serves as an academic and historical complement to the standing monuments, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricate details of the sculptures up close.
