The gallery is a panorama of Indian sculptural art that celebrates the evolution of sculptural art in South Asia. The exquisite collection of sculptures exhibited in this gallery marks the transition from the Mathura School of the Kushana period to the Sarnath School of the Gupta era, followed by the emergence of medieval sculptures from Eastern and Southern India. A unique collection of South-East Asian sculptures is also exhibited in this gallery.
