Into the four galleries
With its four galleries and the open-air gallery surrounding it, the museum has a lot to show. The open-air gallery holds Jaina images, Nataraja, Nandi, Kirtimukha, erotic figures, and some architectural pieces. Once inside, the galleries have amazing exhibits such as the Makara Torana carvings, Siva and Vishnu representations, female divinities, and panels depicting Bhāgavata or Krishnalilā scenes. You'll also find a large, scaled model of the prehistoric cave at Shidlaphadi, trans-slides depicting pre-historic life, and a newly organised section that exhibits human evolution, pre-historic paintings, and stone implements.
The museum also has a section on conservation, excavation, epigraphy, and the newly discovered quarry site, along with iron implements, etc. You can also appreciate a rare important exhibit of the line drawings of the paintings in cave-III. Trilingual audio-video film information is also available in the museum.
Don't forget to visit the publication sales counter and the reference library, which has a good collection of books on art and architecture.
