DISTRICT / SITE MUSEUMS

Another major function of the Dept. is to establish the district Museums as well as the Site Museums wherever required to educate and to explain the cultural heritage to the common man by displaying different artefacts like stone sculptures, bronzes, coins, paintings, arms and weapons, ornaments, dresses etc. The museums, needless to say are fruits of centuries of collections by connoisseurs of art. The collection normally reflects the cultural heritage of a given country or a region. The Dept. so far has established 13 District Museums at Vijayawada, Guntur, Rajahmundry, Kakinada, Vizag,, Nellore, Cuddapah, Anantapur, Kurnool, Warangal, Kareemnagar, Nalgonda and Mahaboobnagar, 6 Site Museums at Kanuparthy and Chandavaram in Prakasam District, Mylavaram in Cuddapah district, Alampur in Mahaboobnagar district, K.B.Museum & Qutub Shahi site museum at Golconda, Hyderabad, in addition to the A.P.State Museum,Public Gardens, Hyderabad and Srisailam Pavilion Museum in the Commissionerate.
