The museum is a beautiful building and needs more maintenance. The natural history museum is the main attraction and will take the longest time. It'll easily take 3 hours of walk so wear comfortable shoes and carry water with you. If it's sunny day also carry something to cover your head as you may walk between buildings. The ticket covers 6 building but today only 4 were operating. There is ample parking available inside.its an ideal place for those with a curiosity mind and want to learn a bit of history, biology, science. The building itself is slowly crumbling and needs lot of care, painting etc. There is no structure inside to have food or water, though there are shops across the street.

With its intriguing voyage through India's diverse cultural fabric, the museum provides a special fusion of art and history. All visitors will have a more enriching experience because of the interesting and instructive exhibitions. In particular, my 10-year-old daughter loved the vivid exhibitions and interactive displays that brought history to life. Visitors can experience India's diverse legacy through the museum's meticulous curation, which cultivates an awareness for our cultural origins.
The good environment was further enhanced by the staff's eagerness to share thoughts and their excitement. The museum is a great family destination because of its clear commitment to education. The overall tourist experience is improved by the immaculate grounds and the unambiguous signs. I value the Chennai National Museum's initiatives to help young people understand and love history. It's more than just a museum; it's a historical voyage that deepens visitors' appreciation and comprehension of India's rich past. We anticipate additional explorations and visits to this cultural treasure in the future.
Today I visited the Government Museum in Chennai, also known as the Madras Museum, and I was amazed by its sheer size and incredible array of historical artifacts and cultural heritage. Established in 1851, this treasure trove houses an extensive collection spanning various fields like archaeology, numismatics, art, and natural history. Visitors can explore fascinating exhibits such as ancient sculptures, coins, rare manuscripts, and the impressive Bronze Gallery showcasing exquisite Chola bronzes. This iconic institution offers an enriching journey through India's rich past and diverse cultural legacy.
Great exhibits and display!!

The musuem houses beautiful artifacts, sculptures from ancient history to modern history period. The sculptures are well labeled and information on those are explained well. There are epigraphs, inscriptions and wall panels which take you back to history. There is great scope for preserving and presenting the exhibits in a better way. You get to see all these beautiful exhibits at a nominal entry fee of 15 rs.
