About: Bagan Archaeological Museum

Bagan Archaeological Museum is located in Bagan in Myanmar. It was established in 1904 near the Ananda Temple and was reconstructed in 1938. In the Second World War, the artifacts were buried in the earth to avoid destruction. In 1952, when Myanmar became independent, the Ministry of Culture started manging the museum. The three-story museum houses a number of rare Bagan period objects including the original Myazedi inscriptions, the Rosetta stone of Burma.
