| The
Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery
In the year 1921 museum was
opened and additions and changes have been made
periodically, but the 'cluttered look' continues
to dominate the museum galleries. On the ground
floor are rooms with European Art collection, where
Greek and Roman sculpture rub shoulders with paintings
of a variety of European schools. There are galleries
with displays of Asian Art from Burma, Sri Lanka,
Cambodia, China and Japan - bronzes, ivory and pottery,
and a painted gilt wood statue of the Bodhisattva.
There are samples of art objects, mainly manuscripts
from Persia, Turkey and Japan.
