A multi purpose and archaeological museum. The museum also has library facilities.

The museum was set up to promote the cultural heritage and to preserve the artefacts of the area.

A state government museum, the Biharsharif Museum was set up in 1979 and recently moved to its own building ‘Virasat Bhawan’ at Biharsharif, the district headquarters of Nalanda.

About the collection: The stone sculptures housed in this museum mostly belong to Magadhan School of Indian Art, i.e., Pala period. A few good examples of stone sculptures, medieval coins and stone inscription are the pride collection of the museum.
