The sculpture galleries displayed remarkable statues of Lord Varaha, Surya, Bodhisattva, Buddha, Nandi, and the famous Chola-period Nataraja. The Buddhist galleries showcased the life of Lord Buddha, Sacred Relics from Piprahwa, and a virtual experience of the Ajanta Caves.
The students also visited the Central Asian Antiquities' section, the Coins' Gallery featuring ancient punch-marked coins and the Brahmi script, and the Mughal galleries displaying Jahangir’s jade pot, miniature paintings, and royal objects.
