Open Air Sculpture Museum

About Open Air Sculpture Museum

Situated within the celebrated heritage landscape of Hampi, this open-air sculpture museum brings together stone sculptures and carved fragments recovered from the surrounding ruins. Visitors wander through a largely unroofed setting, examining pieces that reflect the artistic traditions of the region's medieval past. The arrangement allows one to appreciate the craftsmanship of individual works at close quarters, away from the more crowded monument sites nearby. Interpretive information, where provided, helps contextualise the pieces within their historical and religious frameworks. The museum suits those wishing to slow down amid Hampi's vast archaeological spread and focus on the finer details of sculptural form. It is best visited during the cooler morning hours.
