Lonely Planet review for National Museum

An overview of India’s last 5000 years, this is a splendid museum. Exhibits include rare relics from the Harappan Civilisation, Central Asian antiquities (including silk paintings from the 1st century AD), sacred Buddhist objects, jewel-bright miniature paintings, old coins (including Portuguese, Dutch and Danish), woodcarving, textiles, musical instruments, fearsome Mughal weaponry, Persian manuscripts, and Indus jewellery made from shells and bones. Give yourself at least a few hours – preferably a half-day – to explore this museum, one of India’s finest.
