The gallery is situated in the second part of the palace behind bell tower. The galley consists of Stone sculptures arrange in a hall at the entrance and in the hall towards southern side of the complex near Manimandapam. The bronze sculptures inside the Nayak's Durbar Hall showcase excellent craftsmanship. Durbar Hall is an excellent structure with beautiful paintings & sculptures on upper part of the walls and the ceiling. The hall also houses a marble sculpture of Raja Serfoji, popular Maratha ruler. The examples of art that we see today at this gallery are the finest. Most of the pieces belong to Chola period between the 9th and the 13th centuries AD, to the post-Chola period and to the Nayak period, from the 17th to the 18th century AD. The gallery also houses a few sculptures from the Pallava period. There is also a collection of Tanjore glass paintings. The Bell Tower at the entrance of the complex is a wonderful eight storied structure used as the watch tower. The tower offers excellent view of the Thanjavur town.

One of the best art galleries. Speaks the grandeur of thanjavur. The artifacts are really unique. There are books that might be found really Bizzare, like the anatomy of an elephants grey anatomy of of horses. The morphology of humans with animals. Many different Palm leaf inscribings are present in this art gallery and they are considered to be e an asset as well as great way to look at the history of India. Photography is not permitted inside the gallery premises. Do not miss the audio video show in the library. The show is really informative and and is screened in a big room which is air conditioned.

The art gallery of Thanjavur contains various sculptures and statues of Gods and goddesses and it has a seperate bronze gallery, lots of bronze statues at this gallery are well preserved. There is a arsenal tower in this building. This style is resembling the style of Thanjavur big palace containing 7 tiers of 190 feet high. This tower is used for storing arms and ammunition and they kept in safe custody.

Good place to visit in thanjore you can have a auto after you visit big temple to this place. Lot to see in this area like Saraswati Mahal,clock tower ,art gallery , Maratha palace. You can definitely spend 2- 3 hours here as lot of things to see. You will see a skeleton of whale there. Lot to see also important thing is you need to buy a ticket which cost around 50 and for cameras it is extra.

RamRam, At a distance of 2 km from Thanjavur Junction Railway Station & 0.5 km from Old Bus Station, the Art Gallery is located within Thanjavur Palace. The gallery houses a treasured collection of bronze icons, stone sculptures and other artifacts, which today stand testimony to that golden age in Tamil history.
