While not the best maintained place, with several galleries closed for renovation, the Bronze Gallery contains some truly stunning sculptures.

Take a peek at the clouds of flying fox hanging off the trees!

This Egmore is a must see for those interested in Tamil history and culture. Rare bones, ancient Tamil script examples, and an impressive bronze cast collection are on display, among other things.
