Spent 2.5 hours at the Bihar Museum in Patna yesterday and it wasn’t nearly enough! The Museum is a world-class gem — the seamless blend of modern architecture and ancient treasures is stunning. I spent over two hours wandering through the Mauryan, Gupta, and Pala dynasty… pic.twitter.com/gDTYpmOU6W

What did Shashi Tharoor say in clarification?
He has posted on social media giving his clarification on this entire political controversy. He said, ‘I neither mentioned BJP nor took the name of any CM or leader. I praised Nalanda University and the two museums I visited. These include Bapu Tower and Bihar Museum. I appealed to Indians to visit these wonderful places and said that the roads and facilities in these areas are good. Why create political controversies over such common matters which have nothing to do with politics?
Photos posted praising the museum
Apart from this, he also posted on social media about the museum. In this he said that he spent 2.5 hours in Bihar Museum, Patna. This was not enough at all. This museum is world class. The unique combination of modern architecture and old things is wonderful. I spent more than two hours wandering through the collections of the Maurya, Gupta and Pala dynasties. I still feel like I missed a lot. It also has a children’s gallery and courtyard spaces.
