V	Vijay Shrivastava on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is very good museum and main attraction of this museum is Ashok Stambh. In this museum they have kept finding from near by Archaeological sits. We can see the atrocity of mughals in the destroyed idols of Hindu gods and goddesses including Ashok Stambh.
v	vineet panwar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place to see Archaeological Museum Sanchi established on the hilltop, in 1919, by Sir John Marshall. Subsequently, Archaeological Survey of India acquired a college building at the foot hill of Sanchi Stupa and got the exhibits shifted to the new building in the year 1966 and in the same year the museum was opened for the public. The museum comprises main hall and four galleries besides exhibits in the verandah and a few in open courtyards.

P	Pradeep Verman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sanchi museum is located near main Sanchi stupas site. It is a single floored white building with a compound of lush green lawns and shady trees. The Museum was established by Sir John Marshall in 1919, when he was Director General of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). When planned excavation work was started under supervision of Sir John Marshall, need for museum arose to properly store and showcase the actual findings thus museum was made in small building. Sanchi museum comprises of four galleries and one large central hall. Here variety of sculptural artefacts have been showcased for public view. These articles are from Sanchi and its nearby Buddhist and Hindu sites like Vidisha, Gyraspur, Murelkhurd etc. Among them most well known exhibit in the Sanchi museum is the Ashokan capital displayed in main hall. This piece of sculpture shows four-lions seated back-to-back and once topped Pillar No.-10 in Sanchi. It reminds us of lion capital of Sarnath. This image of four-lion is taken as national emblem of India.
M	Monika Gupta on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really liked the place. This museum has all those remains of the Sanchi stupa that were found during its recreation. It is well maintained. I loved the photo gallery especially as it has images of how Sanchi stupa looks before and after it was repaired or recreated. Also has washrooms. Ticket price for museum is Rs. 5 per person and for Sanchi stupa it is Rs. 40 per person and Rs. 35 per person if paid online. Must visit place. Maintained properly.
G	Gayatridevi K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice museum with a nominal entry fee of 5₹. Extremely neat and well kept museum. Interestingly given the sparse crowd we had one of the guards who followed us and pointed that we should not get close to the exhibits. Very conscientious. Good job by them.
