Lonely Planet review

Thousands of historic artefacts are on display in the spacious galleries of the excellent National Museum. Exhibits include rare relics from the Harappan Civilisation, Central Asian antiquities (including silk paintings from the 1st century AD), Indian textiles, tribal masks, sculptures, musical instruments, old coins (including Portuguese, Dutch and Danish), miniature paintings and weapons (including a battle-axe from AD 1739).

Give yourself at least a few hours - preferably a half-day - to explore this museum, one of India's finest.
