India: Government Museum in Chennai

Today I got four postcards: one from India, one from Canada, one from France and one from the United Kingdom.

The card from India shows an exhibit from the Bronze Gallery of the Government Museum in Chennai. Chennai is the capital of the Indian State of Tamil Nadu and the sixth largest city of India. It is one of Lonely Planet's top 10 cities for 2015. The Government Museum was founded in 1851 and is thus the second oldest museum in India. It has rich collections of archaeological and numismatic artifacts and the largest collection of Roman antiquities outside Europe.

Thank You very much Prashanth!
