The Archaeological Museum Khajuraho is located in the Chhatarpur District of Madhya Pradesh. The museum's primary collection consists of sculptures and antiquities from the Chandella Period, when Khajuraho was the capital city. The museum was initially established in 1910 by W.A. Jardine, a British officer, to preserve the loose sculptures found around the temples.
In 1952, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) took over the museum, and it was relocated to its present location in 1967.
The museum houses around 2000 sculptures, including notable pieces such as a seated Buddha and a four-headed Vishnu. The sculptures belong to the Brahmanical, Buddhist, and Jaina sects. The entrance gate and verandah galleries display beautifully carved sculptures, including figures of Ganga and Yamuna, Nrittya Ganesh (dancing figure of Lord Ganesh), and Jain sculptures.
