The museum has the richest and by far the most important collection of Mathura School of Sculptures of c. 3rd century B.C. to 12th century A. D. which attained the pinnacle of glory during the reign of Great Kushan and Gupta Emperors. With the most impressive quantum of plastic forms with vast and varied meaning on display, the museum provides perhaps the best material available for the study of Indian Art and Iconography.
