A small but rich museum preserving the region’s ancient Chalukyan art, sculpture, and inscriptions.
Archaeological Museum

The Archaeological Museum of Badami, established by the Archaeological Survey of India, offers a window into the glorious Chalukyan era (6th–8th century CE). It displays a wide range of stone sculptures, inscriptions, and carved panels excavated from Badami, Aihole, and Pattadakal. Key exhibits include depictions of Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Jaina Tirthankaras, as well as hero stones and architectural fragments that illustrate the evolution of temple art in early South India. The museum overlooks the scenic Agastya Lake and complements a visit to the surrounding cave temples and fort.
