Sarnath Archaeological Museum

At the entrance to this excellent museum is Ashoka's Lion Capital, moved here from its original location in the park.

Other beautiful sculptures are here as well, including lots of Buddhas; still more of Sarnath's masterpieces are in the National Museum, Delhi, and the Indian Museum, Kolkata.
