CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY
The museum houses a representative collection of stone sculptures from the Allahabad district and surrounding regions such as other parts of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. The sculptures executed during 3rd century BCE through the 11th century of the Christ Era were discretely collected to be a part of this museum. This range covers examples of sculptural art of almost all historical periods that are of any significance to the study of Indian Art. In other words, the Allahabad Museum sculpture collection provides the most comprehensive overview of the Indian sculptural art through the ages.
