The National Museum of India showcases Indian history covering five millennia with its impressive collection of more than 150,000 pieces. The Museum's collection of Indus Valley relics and Central Asian treasures from the Silk Road is considered the finest in the world.
Almost 700 years after the Silk Road fell into disuse, a British archaeologist by the name of Sir Aurel Stein led a series of expeditions in 1900-16 to uncover its treasures. Stein's Central Asian collection are from those he discovered in the Taklamakan Desert which includes paintings, Buddhist manuscripts and valuable records of life during those ancient times.
