Different kinds of historical sculpture,arts and statues are stored here for Public Showcase! At a very minimal cost of 5Rs/person.

Just too much to absorb about Indian culture and architecture from early ages. One of the most interesting Museum of State Govt, officials are very helpful.

A must visit if you like to see ancient stone collected from stone age era. There are many stone collected from mathura Vrindavan and nearby ancient site. Mathura itself a center of Jain and Bodh Religion in ancient time. Fact: Mathura is capital of sursena mahajanpad which one of 16 mahajanpad of ancient history.

If you want to peep in 1st Century India, please visit this museum. Awesome place, very quite, entry fees is nominal.

Good museum

Good to know abot kushan era . You can see headless statue of Kanishka and Bim kadfishis

nice place to visit. inside looks are totally different then what the museum appears to be from outside. -one of the oldest museum. -ash pots of MK Gandhi is also kept here.

Not many people know about this exceptionally fine museum in the city of Mathura, if you love history then do visit. Be sure to allow lots of time to visit the It and go early. It is huge and it takes a while to get from one gallery to another. The size of collection of impressionist art is great, and the special exhibit on gardens is wonderfully organized. However, some of the lighting is not as good as other well known museums. Maps provided don't have enough information to help find special exhibits but it’s worth the effort if you can plan for a long visit. Also please don’t forget to see the oldest status of lord Gautam Buddha, an old standing statue of Buddha in its premises. It has statues, metal artefacts and many more. Although it’s premises are huge but the fees are not too high. You will find everything which has been kept in the museum and have been found in Mathura only. All said it’s an excellent museum.

Being a Government museum, I wasn't sure about the quality of the display and the nature of the exhibits. However, this is, without any doubt, one of the best museums, Government or otherwise, that I've visited. It is a display of artifacts that have been obtained from excavations, some of them dating back a millenium. Each and every exhibit has been numbered, tagged and it's provenance and details explained in both Hindi and English. The entrance fee is just ₹ 5 and mobile photography ₹ 20

Best museum in mathura, there are lots of statues of ancient time.

Great Place To Visit....

The true historical value of a place can only be determined by the artifacts found at the place. This museum have many artifacts from @mathura and nearby places. This museum adds knowledge to the intellectuals who look beyond the religious value of this region. There are many sculptures which are more than 2000yrs old. The entry ticket along with camera is also very reasonable. This place needs to be more advertised to give people and kids knowledge about our great culture and heritage.

Good place! Tickets are extremely reasonably priced. You need to pay a little extra, to get the permission for clicking pictures. There are a lot of sculptures and antiques that you'll see here. If that is something which attracts your interest, then you can spend a lot of time in this place. One area which needs improvement is... involvement of the officials sitting there. Rather than simply sitting in a place, they should take initiative and interact with visitors and guide them about the place, idols and other things kept here. If you are planning to visit Mathura, then you must definitely keep this place in your itinerary.

If you fan of Old India sculpture. Must visit this museum. Parking is available inside there free of cost and ticket of museum is inly 5 rs. you can take your phone inside while paying some fees around 10-15rs.

One of the best museum, i have ever visited. Beautifully decorated, good aesthetic, commendable architecture and a very good place to relate and learn. One must visit this museum, when he/she plans to visit Mathura.

Mathura was once the city of Buddha. Buddha remains from the Kushan period have been found here.

Mathura State Museum is a least visited place in Mathura city. It is a treasure trove for its unique collection of Gandhara style of sculptures. It houses a rare Kanishka statue; besides many Buddha, Surya and Vishnu statues.

One of the information hub

The museum has a good collection of artifacts unearthed from sites around Mathura and depicts the art and architecture of Mathura region. A history and architecture buffs can spend easily a day and other enthusiasts can easily spend 3-4 hours. For the regular tourists, one can complete the visit in under an hour and still be in awe and appreciate the collection.

Awesome place for acknowledging the history... Can see the time running in front of your eyes our country has gone through

Nice place having heritage of the region safe & secure!

You can see here very very old historical statue. But mostly all statues are in broken damaged in condition. If you are visiting Mathura, you can spent your time in between 1 to 3 pm here as all other temples are closed at that time.

Very nice Mathura was baudh vihar it's proves Everywhere Buddha hi Buddha in Mathura

This is an excellent location for studying Indian artefacts and ancient lifestyles. Antique clothing, various decorations, hair-dressing equipment, and other unique household objects are among a few materials on display in this museum. The impressionist painting collection and the special display spread over the gardens is well-organized. In addition, there are well-laid site maps to help you understand the layout of the museum and the places different types of artefacts are located. The entry fee is INR 5 for Indian Adults and INR 2 for Indian children. The fee for international tourists is INR 25. You have to pay an additional fee of INR 20 if you want to carry a camera. The museum is open from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, Tuesday to Sunday. The museum is closed on Mondays.

It houses a lot of priceless treasures dating thousands of years back in time. Try to read the description kept at each exhibit to understand the value better. It also houses the urns in which the mortal remains of Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru were kept once.

It is full of learning and for strong history.

The mention of sculpture of mathura Museaum can be found in most of history and archeology books Mathura a city which has a great history of Jains, Hindus, and Buddhism for an extendeperiodme, gives it very diverse religious and cultural references. In mathura museum, artifacts from 3-4 thousand years old are on display, and they are enough to keep the history buff inside you entertained .

nice place but clock room is unsecure.. we lost our one bag from the clock room..no one took responsibility for the same.

(Translated by Google) I went to see the Mathura-style Buddha statue here, and there was a clay figurine of King Hephthalite, which was excavated in Shibayama, Chiba prefecture, and two melons. A pointed hat with a rim, a long beard, a beard, a belt, and pointed boots. Is it different that the clothes had a leopard print pattern? Hephthalites, also known as white dung. Both Xiongnu and the descendants of Mr. Otsuki. In short, it is a horse race. (Original) ここにマトゥラー様式の仏像を見に行ったのだが、中にエフタル王の土偶があって、それが千葉県芝山で出土した土偶と瓜二つである。縁のある尖がり帽子に長髯、帯剣にベルト、そして先のとがったブーツ。服に豹紋の柄があったことぐらいが違いか？エフタル、別名を白フン。匈奴とも大月氏の末裔とも。要するに騎馬民族である。

This place was so interesting. As an American I’ve never had the chance to see this part of Indian history and art. I was there in 2019 and will go back if possible. It’s a must see for those who like India’s ancient culture and sculpture. This museum should receive more recognition!

Good place

Mathura museum is an archaeological museum in Mathura city of Uttar Pradesh state in India. The museum was founded by then collector of the Mathura district, Sir F. S. Growse in 1874. Initially it was known as Curzon Museum of Archaeology, then Archaeology Museum, Mathura, and finally changed to the Government Museum, Mathura.

I kept best memory from here I love this historical monuments And this musem

Very interesting and historic collection of rock is available here plz visit here and see the beauty of history and this is the most curious place plz visit a time..

Well maintained statues. Lighting was not bad. Detailed explanation of the period of collection, place of collection, name of statue was mentioned but it has to be refurbished to make it clear. Worth spending 45 min to 1 hour with children. Take snacks with you as there are no shops nearby. Mobile phones are allowed with extra ticket.

Nice place for all the History lovers

The place is good and quiet. You will gain peace and knowledge here. Artifacts are quite ancient and looks amazing.

The most awesome collection of ancient scriptures in India found in and around Mathura. There are 3rd Century BC Yaksha and Kuber sculptures, 2nd century BC to 6th Century AD Buddha and Jain Sculptures and Vishnu & Shiva Sculptures of Gupta period. A must visit museum if you have interest in History and Archaeology.

Must visit place if you’ve interest in ancient Indian history. The place has some of the finest statues found at various places nearby. One of the best museums in India.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful sculpture The result of early Buddhist and Hindi art. A statue of a male official in the red sandstone of the Kushan dynasty in the 1st and 3rd centuries, an early sitting Buddha statue. There are also humorous and erotic statuettes. (Original) 素晴らしい彫刻像 早期仏教・ヒンディー教の芸術の成果。クシャーナ朝の1-3世紀の赤砂岩の男性官人立像、早期の釈迦坐像。 ユーモラスでエロチックな小像もある。

A lot of info on Buddhism, Maurya and Kanishka dynasty. This place needs some maintenance. Could have planned this place better.

The Mathura National Museum offers a captivating journey through India's rich cultural and artistic heritage. With an impressive collection of ancient artifacts, sculptures, and artifacts dating back to the Gupta period ,Kushan period , Bronze age & paleolithic age .the museum provides a glimpse into the region's historical evolution.

Good to see history..

This museum fascinates me with the aura of ancient India... Some sculptures are even full of fairy tale like mysteries. If you are interested in buddha, mahavir or kushana period, its must visit. Also, for students interested in paleolithic era, its also must visit...

Mathura

Nice

This place was awesome there you can see a lot of statue of Buddha of mathura style and gander style

An exceptional large collection of artefacts/sculptures dating back to Kushan, Maurya periods. Well documented and curated. The museum should be visited by all to learn about our heritage, history as well as the calibre of art that existed in Bharatvarsh more than 2000 years ago

this place is very beautifull & peacefull staff is very good.....

Very interesting oldest things available at this place

Its mostly closed. Jaye toh jaye kab. Closed on Government holidays. Closed on Saturday and sunday. Closed on national holiday. Baki toh dekha nahi, kyuki closed tha. 😂

Immortal Gautam Buddha's Statues musium.

A museum to be in your list if you are a history seeker and you are visiting Mathura. You can educate yourself with lot of stone and clay sculptures made mainly during the second to tenth century AD. As said, the shelves are majorly of stone/clay sculptures and has a brief description of the same, so to make it really fruitful, you have to go one after the other, reading and understanding each, which only a seeker will be interested to. I enjoyed as I love to learn our history, but for a non historical seeker, the place may look bit boring and odd. There is an entry fee of Rs 5 per person (2021). There is ample car parking space available. The place was really calm due to less foot fall. And the place is really maintained clean !

State museum. Art and statue gallery. Currently ancient coins not in display.

A nice place to visit and you will not see a lot of people

A good place to ignite your curiosity and amaze you about our history, culture and glimpse of how our ancestors lived. Not maintained well. Better they move it to some National History Museum.

(Translated by Google) Historical Heritage Very Good Place (Original) ऐतिहासिक विरासत बहुत अच्छी जगह

This Museum is truly amazing it has collections of not only Medieval times or the Modern Times but it has a huge collection of things that used to in really really ancient times also many of them during the times of Before Christ as well it has many important collectibles from Spiritual Heads most of them including Statues of Buddha and Jain that is truly remarkable for all of them who are really fond of such ancient things this place might be good for students, historians, tourists and all of them who wants to spend time in this beautiful city, I really appreciate the work of Government and all of those who were the part of it, I really encourage all of them to have a visit in this museum if possible... 😃

Hyderabad

Great historical place. Must visit

Good place

I l u

Our tour of mathura was ruined by one fraud guide... He just showed us some shops all the day and when we got angry he just ran away..

Fabulous and peaceful place. You fully enjoyed this place. lots of status with accurate content . Must see

Notable points: 1. Spacious 2. Neat and clean 3. Relatively small museum 4. Sculpture and specimen of MATHURA SCHOOL OF ART 5. some artifact of Gandhar school of art is also there. 6. Entry fee - 5₹/adult_ indian and ₹25/adult for foreigner

Nice place with all statue of all age people .

wonderful place & a huge collection of ancient statues with full details

This place is best for art histororians. This is an asset and like temple for art history students.

Very nice place to visit. All historic stone statute are available.

This place is really enjoyable for ARTS students but can be boring for SCIENCE students.We will going to know about the possible ideas of ancient Architecture and their way of making.

Out of my experience from 26 countries museums, the artefacts kept here are extraordinary! Some are even 4000 years old. I extremely loved the collection here from different kingdoms in India. Even met some Chinese tourists who were visiting this place to k ow about Buddha relics. They had everything from Kushana to Kalinga. Amazing to see the works done at that time, maybe we have forgotten the essence of culture in our built structures how we are building them just like boxes. As an architect, I do not like the design of this museum and as Indians do, it was almost zero maintenance, I feel a lot can be done in this place to attract people. We should specifically learn from Rome or how museums are being kept in Florence which I visited last year. We have more character but less respect of such things.

Nice

Mathura  is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is located approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of Agra, and 145 kilometres (90 mi) south-east of Delhi; about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from the town of Vrindavan, and 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Govardhan. It is the administrative centre of Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh.

Its a good but nothing is more special

Ancient history of Mathura and near about places can be explored here

I love museums ! And visiting Mathura Museum was on my list for some time. The museum although was quite small, it did not disappoint. It's artefacts set it apart from other museums. The place is majorly a goldmine of Kushana and Shunga Empire time period. Also, it gives you a perspective on the Vaishnava sect as it has perhaps the earliest representations of Vishnu's Dhashavtars (which surprisingly are missing, Buddha and Krishna). What surprised me even more was the Admission Fees, that was 5 Rupees only (yes). But I guess it's because if the place it's in. If you are a History buff and are in Mathura by any chance, DO NOT miss this place. It's a hidden gem.

(Translated by Google) Do visit once to know about ancient civilization. History from the Kushan period to the medieval period which is thousands of years old will be known. Though most of the idols have been torn down by the Mughal rulers, but one would definitely feel proud to see them. (Original) प्राचीन सभ्यता के बारे में जानने के लिए एक बार अवश्य जाएं। कुषाण काल से लेकर मध्यकाल तक का इतिहास जो कि हजारों साल पुराना है जानने को मिलेगा। हालांकि ज्यादातर मूर्तियां मुग़ल शासकों द्वारा तुड़वा दी गयी हैं लेकिन देखकर गर्व जरूर महसूस होगा।

Very good place

Not good as others

Must visit place
