Archaeological Museum Khajuraho in Damoh

At a distance of 800 m from Western Group of Temples and 2 km from Khajuraho Bus Stand, the Archaeological Museum is a popular museum situated in Khajuraho. It is one of the top places to visit in Khajuraho and also one of the best archeological museums in Madhya Pradesh.

Ye to be completed but its ok....

Charges a fee. No photos allowed. Only positive is the opening gallery with a timeline of kings and some context to Khajuraho. But better buying a book, or attending the sound and light show. Small gallery that pales in comparison to the wonders just down the road at the Western Group of Temples. Suggest as time-filler only, & maybe some limited benefit of walking around - get those steps up, because this won’t satisfy the brain.

Its a bit underwhelming. It could get better.

Western group of temples is worth enough to visit once. If you want to see Kamasutra, you can see here and my favourite is in South group but it is stand-alone temple.

More sculpture can be stored. Too small. Other rooms should also open.

Given the exposure to other worthwhile museums, i would say they need more funding and better display and descriptions.Otherwise, the place was well kept, orderly and clean with helpful and friendly staff.Definitely worth a visit with such historic and significant pieces on display.

Not all the rooms were open when I visited. The open ones were very informative. Not much crowd. Should be good once it is fully setup.

I like this museum really a good place for Indian history lover

Very good musium need to visit once when you are coming in Khajuraho

Museum is not completed yet due to COVID. Even though a must visit place. This museum will certainly surpass many well maintained state museums thanks to relics of temple artechture and sculptures. Closed on Fridays. Ticket is included in that of Western Complex of Temples.

It was good, but only one Hall out of 4 was open for public rest. There are lot of improvement opportunities

The place is nice, though only very few artifacts are kept. The day we visited only one room was open.Its closed on Friday.The ticket is same what is used for visiting Western Group of Temples.

Very few details. mostly just sculptures.Though as the same ticket works for Western temples and this it is worth visiting.

Good place and must visit after visting the Khajuraho temples

Located near Western Group of Khajuraho temples; 10 min walk from the ticket counter of the main complex, to be specific. The ticket for western group is also valid for the ASI museum. So keep the ticket intact if you wish the visit the museum. Its a must visit place.Please note: the museum remains closed on the Fridays and photography inside the museum is prohibited. The museum building is new and the shifting of the artefacts and sculptures from the old building is under process. So you may not see all the galleries.

Very nice and peace place, there are so many sculptured ancient statues of different type with details which are destroyed and damage by Non-Hindu attacker, these statues depicts period wise culture and their local place history.

Small museum. Hardly it will take 15 minutes to complete. All the things available here are the remainings of Khajuraho monuments. You are not allowed to take photos even thats the same thing which are there in Khajuraho where you can take photos. You cant even touch anything. Its better to not waste time here, visit Khajuraho monuments.

It is a nice place for antiquities of Khajuraho but due to renovation many galleries are closed and the most famous images of Ganesh, Parvati, Vaikunth vishnu and sadashiv cant be seen.

Its not comman you get all kind of important monument you can watch easily but in archaeological museum khajuraho there are a bunch of monument you can watch......thank you .visit khajuraho.

The highlight is probably the timeline of the Chandela clan at the entrance. Other than that just a many beautiful sculptures. May appeal to the artistically inclined but needs more attention to be made appealing to common public.

Archeological Museum Khajuraho is located Tribal Museum Rajnagar Road Sevagram Khajuraho Madhya Pradesh India. Museum is new constructed and , beautiful articles and ancient sculptures from the temples of the 9th to 10 th century. The Archaeological Museum Khajuraho was initially known as Jardine Museum. It was renamed the Archaeological museum of Khajuraho. Museum open 10 Am to 5pm Entry fee Rs.10/- per person.

Temple you can carry camera, not in museum having fragments of temple.No description given about artefacts

U will see the same statutes that are craved on the temples, here also, but only thing is that here these statues has been described elaborately.

Very nice place to visit family , such great art and sculpture.

Most of the sculptures are repetition from the western group of temples. You can use same ticket to visit the museum. Very informative.

It is a unique place which shows the prosperity of India. Do not just come here to see those idols, but here they see what has been tried. Love India.

Located in Madhya Pradesh, Khajuraho is a famous UNESCO World Heritage site in India. Khajuraho is a unique heritage site which is renowned for a group of Hindu and Jain Temples situated 175 km south-east of Jhansi. They are well known for their Nagara style symbolism and erotic figures and sculptures. These sensuous stone carvings of human and animal form in erotic poses are very aesthetically portrayed and stand testimony to the rich cultural heritage of India.  Most of these monuments were built between 950 to 1050 CE under the reign of the Chandella dynasty. It consists of a total of 85 Temples spread across an area of 20 square kilometres. The Kandariya temple is the most prominent of all of these temples in the Khajuraho complex.

Good initiative. But needs improvement and skilled staff

Archaeological Museum is Beautiful.

Interesting place still being built

Selfies & videos are not allowed. You can take regular pics. We used our Western group of temples entry ticket to enter here. Clean & well maintained. Should introduce an audio guide.

The archeological museum in Khajuraho doesnt do justice to the grandeur and story of the place. It houses a few artifacts from the Khajuraho temples, but is not adequately marked or proves any provenance of the items kept. Theres no guide and some of the rooms are closed

The Archaeological Museum in Khajuraho is in two parts. The older museum is located near the hotel Headquarter Khajuraho opposite the ShivSagar Lake, This is being gradually emptied and the artifacts are being shifted to a newly constructed swanky building near the Circuit House. We visited both the museums during our recent trip to Khajuraho.This new museum is just the place from where one should start ones Khajuraho Tour. The ticket to visit the Archaeological Museum is the same which is used to visit the Western Group of Temples. No one will tell you about this, as there are very few visitors to the museums.With constant excavation being carried out in and around Khajuraho by the Archaeological Survey of India, it is logical the have museums to showcase their finds. The old museum has 5 major galleries, namely the Vaishnav, Shaivait, Jaina, Miscellaneous and one more. The new museum presently has only one gallery, which is beautifully laid out and extremely well labelled. The museum is to have a total of six galleries, but work is moving at extremely slow pace, due to the shortage of funds.We visited these museums on our last day in Khajuraho. Frankly it is recommended that one should visit the new museum first in order to gain a better understanding of what will be visible in the temples. Most of the guides make up stories which give one a different picture of Khajuraho, at least ours did. The museum would clear all misconceptions in advance and equip a visitor with adequate knowledge prior to seeing the temples

Newly Built. Only Gallery opened for Public. Do visit, if you would like to understand more about sculptures in temples.

Very nice place to visit and understand the history of Khajuraho before you visit actual placeThey have displayed and also explained every aspect of the artifacts recovered from archeological siteVery informative😊

Its really great place to know about chandel dynastys art n gandhar n mathura art

This very interested museum for chandela art culture information that very good conversation museum staaf

A VERY BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONYOU CAN FIND HUGE HISTORICAL HERITAGE SITES....Khajuraho is group of mounments..Can be divided into three western , eastern, southern temples...Firstly i to gone western group of temple....Really the day awesome for me I so excited by seeing the mounments...Then after I gone for museum ....There i stayed mini home stay..his hosting wasGreat memorable for me...I saw lot of foreignors ...I talked with France,China tourist great experience for me....Khajuraho local people know multi languages..

It was an amazing, tidy and spacious place. But it should have a separate room for erotic artifacts from the temple with proper explanation. With that wouldve surely given it a 5-star.

Nice museumGood collectionNiolethik aitemA museum is an institution that cares for a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance. Many public museums make these items available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.

Clean and tidy place with statues and artifacts displayed scientifically. Museum staff ready to explain the finer details which an ordinary visitor wont know. The curator not only offered to show us a movie but also explained several points during the show. Extremely enriching experience. My special thanks to Mr Sarveshwar Singh, the museum staff who went to great lengths to explain the history of the museum pieces. Photography not allowed inside the museum hence cant post any pictures.

Very nice place..after visiting the Khajuraho temple you should definitely spent an hour to this museum..its free for every one..and for more information visit my YouTube channel with name- Deepankar Tiwari, and you can see Khajuraho videos.

Must go after visiting temples.

Very nice place to visit even with family , such great art and sculpture. Do hier a guide . Just one problem there is no heat resistant paint or any other means on footings and walk ways.

Very unique historical statue mind bellowing fantastic garden as well as good location of new musium

This place is really knowledgeable. Photography is not allowed though. But one must surely visit if they are visiting khajuraho. Also tickets are included in Western group of temples

Good for having an idea about the architectural structure of the Khajuraho temples. It has a timeline about the period of Chandela dynasty and its lineage. Though it has a vast collection of artefacts only a few are open to public and the rest are up for restoration. Free entry. Worth a visit.PHOTOGRAPHY PROHIBITED inside it.

- It is still in construction.- It will be better to visit museum before temple darshan because it will provide basic idea about temple.- Museum has huge collection of temple remains constructed during Chandella dynasty.- Museum has it own library, at present time(21/12/2017it is under construction. May be open in second half of 2018.

Really clean museum in some amazingly manicured environs. However like all Indian museums, lacks real interpretation material and information plaques are riddled with typos and spelling errors. Plus when I went, only two of the halls were open with another three or four staying locked (permanently I think because the locks were sealed?)
