One of the oldest museums in Asia, the Indian Museum was founded in 1814. You’ll need an entire day, or more, to fully enjoy the fossils, coins, stones, Gandhara art, meteors and much more that go to make up this museum. Don’t miss the 4,000-year-old mummy here, whatever else you do! Also on display is an urn said to contain the Buddha’s ashes. Just ask anybody on the road for the way to the “Jadughar” (literally, house of magic).
Timings: 10 am-5 pm, Tuesday-Sunday (Between March and November); 10 am -4.30 pm, Tuesday-Sunday (Between December and February)
