Ropar Archeological Museum — Attraction in Punjab

Was very impressed with exhibits - well displayed. Friendly staff.

However VERY disappointed that Archaeological Society of India rules do not allow photography of museum displays and artefacts!!!! Not a single article can be photographed!!!

These are the times of social media, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram and I believe the museum needs to do a better job of presenting itself - specially to get the attention of youngsters else study of history in India will remain limited to memorising dynasties and dates of major battles.

Although a must visit for any one coming to Ropar...
