Hi Edward,
Any pictures from this or any other museums showing Indian weapons

.
Does the Bhubaneshwar museum have a catalogue, and if yes, do you have the e-mail address?
I know photographing in museums is not easy, but you have done very well.
Jens
PS. Should anyone be in doubt, Bhubaneshwar is in Orissa, a very ancient town.

Thanks for the pic of the plaque.
Unfortunately, Indian museums are not very detailed about their items. Everything is "17-18 century" and nothing else.

Their academic level leaves much to be desired. What a pity, they have at their disposal such a wealth of material, but nobody seems to pay attention.

Yes, very interesting museum, and especially good sculpture collection. The sculpture exhibition was closed when I was there but they kindly let me in anyway.

Here is the Odisha / Orissa museum website:

Many museums in india allows photo for a small fee but unfortunately the tribal museum did not.

I might have some images from Delhi.
