STATE MUSEUM
The State Museum is housed in a building converted from one of the Nizam's mansions. On the ground floor are bronzes, weaponry and Stone Age implements.
However, the interesting objects are a life-size lizard, a mother and child dating to the 2nd century BC, three enormous temple bells, an unusual boyish rendering of Parvati and a Narasimha, seated with Lakshmi on his lap.
Upstairs are cases of ivory, enamel and porcelain ware as well as examples of Bidri, the state's best known craft technique.
