| Abstract: | Museum is an institution devoted to the
acquisition, conservation, study, exhibition, and educational interpretation of
objects having scientific, historical, cultural or artistic value. A museum is typically a non-profit making, permanent
institution in the service of society and of its development, open to the
public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for
purposes of study, education and enjoyment, the tangible and intangible
evidence of people and their environment. Museums
connect people to knowledge and information, creativity and inspiration. The
paper describes diverse collection of Indian mythological
figures in the Salar Jung Museum, especially the images of Vinayaka (Vigneswara or Ganesa), the Lord of Remover of
Obstacles, in different media describing its artistic and thematic points of
view. |
