Bihar Museum

A courtyard, a young tree, the shadow of its branches on stone. This photograph was taken at Bihar Museum in 2017, two years after its inauguration. The museum tells Bihar's history through objects; the courtyard offers a moment between galleries.

In the record

The museum is in Patna and was inaugurated in 2015.

Its collections include historical objects as well as traditional, folk and contemporary art.

The museum's own account describes the need for more display space than the older Patna Museum could provide.
