of Modern Art (Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai), Indian Museum (Kolkata), Victoria
Memorial Hall (Kolkata), Salarjung Museum (Hyderabad), 23 Science Centre under
National Council of Science Museum (Kolkata) and Allahabad Museum (Allahabad),

Besides, there are forty four site museums under
the control of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). These museums have a large
collection of artefacts, paintings, sculptures, coins etc. Up-gradation and
modernization of these museums are taken up by the Government from time to
time. These museums are in good condition.
