Konark Temple Museum

Konark, Odisha, India
The Konark Temple Museum is a small museum located within the complex of the Konark Sun Temple. The museum, which is run by the Archaeological Survey of India, houses a collection of sculptures, architectural fragments, and other relics that were recovered from the temple and its surrounding areas. The museum is a great place to see the intricate details of the temple's original art and architecture up close, as many of the original sculptures have been damaged or have been moved to the museum for preservation. The museum has a number of galleries, each displaying a different set of artifacts, including beautifully carved sculptures of deities, mythological creatures, and fragments of the temple's wheels and horses.
