    This ASI Museum is located about a kilometre away from the Konark Sun temple site. The entry ticket is Rs.10 per person. This is the second Museum and the first being inside the konark temple complex. This museum talks about the history of temples along with the history of Konark and some specimens that have been collected over the past along with re-creation of you from the Konark. This can be not visited too If you are short on time.

    The Archeological Museum Konark is located in Konark in Odisha, India. It houses a collection of artifacts related to the Sun Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The museum has a vast collection of sculptures, architectural fragments, and other artifacts that showcase the rich history and culture of the region. The high museum highlights the statues of various gods and goddesses, intricate carvings, and stone inscriptions. The exhibits are well-organized and provide a glimpse into the ancient art and architecture of Odisha. The quality of the museum's facilities is decent, with adequate lighting and signage. However, some areas could be improved, such as the cleanliness of the premises and the availability of audio guides or multimedia displays. Overall, the Archeological Museum Konark is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and culture. The exhibits are informative and engaging, and the museum provides a unique opportunity to learn about the rich heritage of Odisha. I would highly recommend it to others who are planning to visit Konark.

    Very well maintained and good museum. It's opened till 5:00 pm only. It's a quiet place and a very few people go there to see it but it has good collection of the historical items of Konark temple.

    Very informative and nicely maintained. Apart from the museum, garden and statues placed outside are very nice. Best part is the natural clock which shows time using sun shadows as per natural sunlight falling on it. The time was accurate. Entry fees is Rs.10 per person.

    Well maintained and A great place and must visit before visiting to the Konark Temple. The museum talks about history, lots of hidden truth, unknown part about the temple and about the sculpture used in the temple. The Konark museum started in the year 1968 and maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.

    I found this museum very much boring where inside only the manmade replicas are put on a display. You have to get the tickets online only plus photography is not allowed inside the museum. If you have time then visit else there is nothing great to see inside.
