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.
