Kutch Museum, Local museum in Bhuj, India
The Kutch Museum stands opposite Hamirsar Lake, exhibiting collections of textiles, weapons, silverware, sculpture, wildlife specimens, and geographical documentation of the region.
Founded in 1877 by Maharao Khengarji III, the museum building was constructed in Italian Gothic style under the supervision of state engineer Mc Lelland.
The museum maintains collections of Kshatrapa inscriptions from the 1st century, examples of extinct Kutchi script, and traditional coins called Koris used until 1948.
The museum remains closed on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, with exhibits labeled in both English and Gujarati languages.
A wooden elephant named Airavat with seven tusks, crafted in Mandvi during the 18th century, occupies the central display room.
