This art book in color and BW illustrates 368 masterpieces in the collection of National Museum.

National Museum was established in 1949 and now its collection consists of about 1,50,000 works of art, both of Indian and foreign origin, representing almost all disciplines of art: archaeology, sculpture, paintings, epigraphy, numismatics, decorative arts, jewelry, textiles and anthropology.

Out of this vast collection, only 368 art objects were chosen for a National Exhibition. This selection represents some of the finest examples covering different areas of Museum's collection.
