Archaeological Museum

The Nalanda archaeological museum is small but has some fascinating finds, including the Nalanda University seal and a host of sculptures and bronzes unearthed from Nalanda and Rajgir. Along with the many Buddha figures and Picasso-like 9th-century kirtimukha (gargoyle), look out for the bizarre many-spouted pot.
