A small yet insightful archaeological museum showcasing ancient sculptures, inscriptions, and artifacts from the Chalukyan era discovered in and around Aihole.
Aihole Museum

The Aihole Museum, managed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), preserves the legacy of early Chalukyan art and architecture. Its galleries display sandstone sculptures, hero stones, inscriptions, and temple fragments dating from the 6th to 12th centuries CE. The open-air section features temple panels and carvings that were unearthed during local excavations. The museum not only documents Aihole’s role as the cradle of Indian temple architecture but also helps visitors understand the transition between early rock-cut and structural temples.

How to Reach Aihole Museum
Located just beside the Durga Temple complex — easily walkable from the main Aihole temple cluster (about 5 minutes).
