These are various photographs associated with the “Odisha State Museum” in Bhubaneswar which originated in 1932 at Ravenshaw College, Cuttack, established by historians like Harekrushna Mahatab. It gained State Museum status in 1945–46 and moved through several temporary locations before President Rajendra Prasad laid the foundation for the current building, which opened in 1960. The museum is divided into eleven sections, including Archaeology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, and Art & Craft.
