This museum was really a surprise. We saw it by chance on our trip from Kumbhalgarh. It has uncountable coins, very well presented and tells more than a history book about the history of that region.W saw bilingual coins from the time of Alexander the Great who obiously also expanded his empire beyond this area, coins with Greek imprints were the last thing we expected to find in India. Should you be in this area, you should not miss this museum
