Government Museum

No one should miss this place while visiting Vellore. The collection is good but not well reserved. Cleanliness to be maintained properly. You have to pay a little extra if you click photos. You can also visit nearby places like St John's Church, Jalakandeswarar temple etc.

Vellore Govt Museum. Looks like more of a non thought out effort with a limited resource. Very shabily maintained. Looks like very casual approch to the exhibits without any co relation to one another.

Some of the exhibits could be a treasure of value and knowledge, displaying which needs some better efforts from the curator.

When you are in Vellore, this government museum is a must visit place as this is adjacent to Vellore Fort. There is charge of Rs.50 for car parking and separate nominal charge for entrance and also for using your mobile to take photo/video.
It is comparitively a small museum but has some good collection about various stone sculptures across different era of TamilNadu.
The place has a huge banyan tree ???? which gives enough shade and reprive from the scorching Vellore heat.
Nice spot for photo taking to record evergreen memories of your visit to this spot...
Highlight of this place is the old tamil brahmi inscriptions on stone and its translations kept here and also the diagram representing how to differentiate between stone statues of Chola, Pallava and other empires who ruled this region...
Good place to visit with your kids and family...
