A new conservation lab, built at a cost of Rs 2 crore, is now ready at the Bihar Museum. This facility will preserve artifacts and artwork not only from the Bihar Museum but also from other museums across the state.
According to Additional Director Ashok Kumar Sinha, previously, damaged artifacts had to be sent to Delhi, Mumbai, or other cities for preservation, which was both expensive and time-consuming.
The new on-site lab will address both of these issues. The lab's establishment follows an MOU signed between the Ministry of Art and Culture, Government of India, and the Bihar Museum. This lab is expected to be a significant step forward for archaeological conservation.
Additionally, online ticket booking will soon be available, allowing visitors to book tickets in advance. According to Director General Anjani Kumar Singh, the agency selection will happen in May, and online ticketing is expected to start in June.
Ticket prices are Rs 100 for adults, Rs 50 for children under 12, and Rs 500 for foreign nationals. Students with valid ID will pay Rs 50, and discounted rates apply to groups of children. A camera fee of Rs. 100 will be charged.
