Must Visit place if you love architecture and building. If you belong to architecture related field then its a paradise for you. Talking about Artifacts in museum- if you are a history lover then this museum will disappoint you as most of findings and artifacts are moved to different museums from here. It has very little artifacts from ancient civilization. It is good for the younger school going children as it showcase different eddifies of wild animals and basic history related models. It has very neutral painting exhibition. Talking about Architecture of museum - it was made by British using Rajputana style of architecture with magnificent courtyard and openings. It shows how great our architecture was as it still meets the climatological and lighting demands. It magnifies the royalty of the inhabitants of those times. Must go there.

Today, I visit Patna museum and Bihar museum. Nothing is special here, only some instrument and rifle are available of second world war. So, suggest to everyone please must visit Bihar museum because bihar museum is batter than Patna museum.

The Buddha Relic casket is worth visiting. The natural history hall looks forelorn. The Metal hall and the Rahul Sankrityayan Hall are very well arranged and labelled. After the opening and shifting of exhibits to Bihar Museum, this one looks like a stepsister of the other one. The architecture however is still worth a visit.

A good filler museum, nothing special. Security guards more invested in its success - and more able guides - than the government employees sleeping in the corners, who didn’t seem to want to showcase the museum and the history. The best sections are the contemporary Bihari art gallery and the Buddha’s ashes - though the latter cost an extra (steep) fee (Rs 500) and not really worth it (especially given the actual museum worker makes rude comments to the helpful security guard wanting to make it an experience for a visitor; the half asleep bureaucrat must have thought a gora doesn’t understand his Hindi insults…)

A good museum altogether. But my advice is that you have to be sure of what you want when you are visiting this place. I visited this place last in 1995 and back then there was only one museum in Patna. With Bihar museum around, you have to have some interest in specifics displayed here to come and visit this place. I came here to see the Natural History part as it has a rare Fossil of a 200million old tree which is not something that you will find in a regular museum in India. I am a Fossil enthusiast and this place is therefore great for me. You have to have your pic. Nevertheless, a good Victorian architecture building to see and enjoy on a sunny day in Winter. Do visit once. :)

The vibe is great overall. There are a lot of places inside the museum which are still not open for visitors...eager to see what would it hold and when would we able to see it. I don't know if there are any guides available or not but it would be great if there were actual people interested in telling us the history behind the artifacts. The place has great potential.

This museum mostly contains modern artworks and a few exhibits that were found in and around of Patliputra. Most of its contents have now been moved to the new Museum. There is a wildlife and minerals sections which is quite unique. The park situation outside offers a soothing and scenic view. A good place to spend few hours with friends and family especially children. Entry fee is quite low and separate passes are required for mobile photography.
