Located in Rajasthans Hanumangarh district, the Kalibangan Museum was established in 1985 to house material from excavations undertaken from 1961 to 1969. These investigations revealed Early and Mature Harappan settlements, including what is regarded as the earliest ploughed field. The museum presents core findings that illustrate the regions role within the wider Indus Valley tradition and the development of early agricultural and urban systems.

Collections

The museum contains three galleries that display terracotta toys, pottery, beads, copper tools, and painted potsherds. Prominent exhibits include vessels marked with graffiti, Harappan seals, and skeletal remains recovered from burial areas. Together these objects provide insight into planning, agriculture, technology, and craftsmanship within Indus Valley communities and demonstrate the sophistication of their cultural practices.
