The new gallery Networks of the Past has over 250 objects that showcase and connect the world’s earliest civilisations, from Harappa to Persia and China
The gallery is the India's first ancient world gallery, and offers a peek into the Harappans’ advanced quality of life and town planning, which appeared in our history books
The mammoth collaborative project brings together CSMVS with the British Museum, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Museum Rietberg (Zurich), the Al-Sabah Collection (Kuwait), the Benaki Museum (Athens), and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Athens, Ministry of Culture, Greece
Supported by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, it also features antiquities from leading Indian institutions, including the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the National Museum, New Delhi, the Indian Museum, Kolkata, and major museums in Maharashtra, Prayagraj, Lucknow, Mathura, and Patna
Visitors are in for a visual and educational treat as they witness moments that shaped human society — from the first organised communities, to the earliest expressions of governance, law, and culture through 250-plus rare and stunning archaeological objects from Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, to the Mediterranean Civilisations, and Persia, apart from the Harappan treasures
