The site museum over the hillock is south of the village of Kondapur. The museum was set up on 23rd April 1966 in the present building. It houses artifacts retrieved from exploration and excavations of Nagarjunakonda valley (which is presently submerged under Nagarjunasagar Dam reservoir). The objective is to preserve, conserve and safeguard the artifacts retrieved from explorations and excavations of Nagarjunakonda valley for posterity. The museum was last given a facelift in 1996 when the galleries were also reorganized.

About the collection: It houses a rich collection of minor antiquities unearthed from the digs of 1940- 42. The museum has a central hall and two galleries in the closed corridors. While the central hall contains early historic pottery, painted and decorated ware, inscribed and riveted pottery, terracottas, beads, coins, seals etc., in the corridors are exhibited prehistoric tools and fossils.
