GOVERNMENT STATE MUSEUM
The Government State Museum in Chennai is best known for two important collections: sculptures
from Amaravati and its famed Bronze Gallery.
The Amaravati collection has panels, pillars, carved railings and Buddha statues of milky white
marble from a Buddhist stupa excavated at Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh.
There are bronze sculptures from the later Pallava, Chola, Hoysala and Chalukya periods.
