Photos Of Sanchi Museum
Historical Context and Collection: The Sanchi Archaeological Museum (ASI) was first established by Sir John Marshall in 1919 on the hilltop and was later shifted to its present location at the base in 1966. Its primary function is to house and protect the numerous loose sculptures, architectural fra gments, and artifacts recovered during the excavation and conservation of the Sanchi complex (3rd century BCE to 12th century CE). Key Exhibits: The museum is most famous for displaying the magnificent Lion Capital of the Ashoka Pillar, which originally stood near the Southern Gateway. This capital is the basis for the National Emblem of India. Other key exhibits include fragmented stone reliefs from the Stupas and Gateways, various sculptures of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas from the Gupta and post-Gupta periods (4th to 9th centuries), and items used by the monks. The museum provides a vital, close-up look at the artistry that is otherwise only visible high up on the gateways.
