    .. Honestly, very confused to rate!!! .. There are valuable collections, sure.. .. But, Few valuable items are kept open (to sky) - not able to accept! .. Few staff members were trying to explain. .. Few other staff members were anxious to collect money (?) .. The time we visited, the road work was in progress & heavily raining.. .. The campus condition is not acceptable - pathetic .. One time OK to visit .. Over all not worth for a RE-visit! *NEED ATTENTION FROM AUTHORITIES URGENTLY* *English subtitles can help a lot, please* Note : On inquiry, we were told that a new premises is getting ready to shift these items.. Doubt when it will happen.. Important : Learnt that many items have been shifted to Chennai Museum (?) locals said that few items have already been lost (very sad) YOUR "LIKES" are our gifts - pl click the Like button, Thanks for reading the review & viewing the Photos. Added further Photos Your "LIKES" are our gifts..please do click, Thanks

    Need proper maintenance. The antique stone sculptures which are kept in open ground can be either protected under a roof or can given aesthetic look by keeping in a well maintained garden. The art gallery located in the 1st floor is poor, very few collection.

    Government owned archaeological museum with reasonably appreciable number of relics. The idols are arranged outside the building without providing any protection. Fridays are holiday for the museum. There is much possibility to improve the facilities such as detailing the importance of each relic, etc.
