The museum complex, spanning 12,500 sq. m., houses nine thematic galleries and features a 4,000 sq. m. excavation site with remains visible up to 16-18 meters deep. With an investment of Rs.298 Crore, the project ensures long-term sustainability, encompassing capital costs and five years of operations and maintenance.

Visitors will be enthralled by a unique blend of physical exhibits and immersive digital experiences, showcasing over 5,000 artifacts that tell the story of Vadnagar's evolution. It displays a wide range of items such as ceramic assemblages, shell manufacturing, coins, ornaments, weapons and tools, sculptures, play objects, as well as organic materials like food grains, DNA, and skeletal remains.

A key highlight is the integration of the museum with the actual excavation site. A walkway allows visitors to engage with the archaeological remains firsthand, offering a unique and immersive understanding of the town's past.

The project encompasses a series of complementary initiatives, an International Conference of leading scholars and researchers to delve deeper into the archaeology of Vadnagar; a Television Series by Discovery Channel to showcase the town's rich history to a wider audience; and the Prerna School, a unique educational program to inspire young minds and foster leaders of tomorrow for India’s heritage, among others.

The Archaeological Experiential Museum sets a new benchmark for museum development in India, demonstrating the power of innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and a deep commitment to preserving and showcasing our shared heritage.
