    Padmavibhushan sculptor Sudarshan Sahoo's family runs this place with devotion and dedication. There is a Buddhist Pagoda inside the premises. Years of 'sadhana' is reflected in every corner of this place.

    The craftsmen were working in harmony. The place has very beautifully crafted statues, and a monastry on the top. Local people call it the Japanese Buddha Temple. It's on the station road and it's very beautiful. You can click some great shots here.

    (Visited in October 2023) - The museum houses a good collection of replicas of artifacts and an impressive Buddhist temple like building. When I visited the place around 7 PM, restricted access was in place, sir I am not sure about exact timings.

  • 5/5 Shibashish B. 3 years ago on Google
    A great place for those people who want to gain more knowledge about our state's history, geography, culture and many more. Museum was totally clean and well maintained by the staffs and everyone is strictly maintaining the Covid-19 guidelines. There is a beautiful lawn with lots of colourful flowers and a big water fountain which is the center of attraction of all viewers.. Come to the place during the afternoon cause that time it's less crowded..

    Great place to see craftsmanship and see their achievements. Not really a museum as free entrance and more a exposition place to see craftsman and stone sculptures. Not much explanations tho or any tour guide available unfortunately. Beautiful Buddhist temple inside

  • 5/5 Anuska M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best places in Puri to attract tourists. Stone crafts are at its best. The sculptors are really well at their work. There is also a shop to purchase stone items. The person in charge of maintenance is well behaved and showed every thing with great interest. Came to know about the history and culture of stone crafting. Sudarshan Sir has also won many awards for his finest works.

  • 5/5 Divya C. 4 years ago on Google
    It is not a museum but a workshop for sculptures. You can witness people making beautiful art pieces from different materials like wood stone or brass. Small shop within the compound offers few of those artifacts and are very reasonably priced.

  • 3/5 Partha Sarathee B. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice place to go on an weekend with kids, a great place to learn n show the kids new interesting facts. The small play area and the garden in center are very good and so is the landscaping. The design is good but is not maintained as properly as they should. We did our case study on this museum so had to go through all parts of it. Though from an Architect's point of view could be better cause most part is not finished and construction is still going on. But overally a nice place❤️

  • 5/5 The Juggernaut P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to learn about Odisha and the people of Odisha.Awesome galleries, innovative way of portraying the monuments. I am astonished the way they keep in every park in Odisha. Every park has a kids play area and even in Odisha state museum is also not an exception.I really like it. Museum also has a fountain ⛲️ where kids really enjoy. It is a very huge museum takes a day to completely visit. Parking is rs.5/- and entry cost is 20 per adult . For children below 10 years it is free but 10- 15 years it is rs.10/-

  • 5/5 Prince P. 3 years ago on Google
    This museum has a massive collection of ancient sculptures and specimens. If someone has an attraction towards arts, science, nature and environment then this is a must visit place for sure. Everyone is allowed to take pictures after paying the requisite fees. You will find each and every moment of human evolution here from stone age to modern age. You must spend at least 3 hours here to have a brief idea about the contents. As my personal experience this place is excellent 😍😍😍

  • 4/5 Prakash Chandra D. 1 year ago on Google
    Museums are buildings in which we see many things of artistic, cultural, historical, traditional and objects of scientific interest. It is a great source of knowledge. It not only gives us knowledge but also makes us familiar with our history, culture, civilization, religion, art, architecture of our country.

    This place is huge, they have lots of section dedicated to different things. 80% of the museum is indoors. I would recommend you spend atleast 3-4 hours here. There is a beautiful garden in the middle which is beautiful from 1st floor. The entrance fees is very low 20₹ person. I m glad they have parking space for 2& 4 wheeler. You are allowed to take photos inside but with a fees. Take care.

  • 5/5 Naresh K. 3 years ago on Google
    The genesis of the Odisha State Museum goes back to the year 1932, when two notable historians Prof. N. C Banerjee & Prof. Ghanshyam Dash of Ravenshaw College, Cuttack started collection of archaeological treasures from various places. The small museum was then housed within the premises of the College. In 1938, by a suitable order, the Government of Odisha transformed this nucleus into the Provincial museum of Odisha. Maintaining close contact with the general public and the Archaeological Department of the Government of India and other States, the Museum continued to grow. In order to popularize the cultural exhibits of the Museum, leaflets printed both in Odia and English were published in the Samaj and the New Odisha and copies of the same were sent to officials and the public to create a sense of awareness about the significance of the Museum. As a result of this publicity, students and the general public started visiting the Museum in large numbers. The teachers of the History Department made sustained efforts to explain to them the cultural value of the Museum and its exhibits.
