Has anyone visited the National Museum in Delhi? How is the coin display?

Longacre

Originally, The Man asked me to go to Bangalore, which I am not too happy about. Now he said to me, "Longacre, since you're going to be there anyway, why don't you make a stop in Delhi."

Unfortunately now I need to spend a weekend in India (in Delhi to make an early morning meeting on a Monday). As I was perusing the internet trying to find interesting things to do, the National Museum there caught my eye.

Exploring further, I see that the Museum has a coin display, and shows the evolution of Indian Scripts and Coins. I think this should be pretty interesting. Here is a link: National Museum.

Has anyone been to this museum and seen this display? It is worth having the driver take me to it?

Never been to that museum... it should be fun, you'll only have to compete with 1,180,000,000 people in line!

Looks interesting! Maybe you can get a chariot ride?

Did you post this query over on The Darkside? We have had posters from India now and again.

Seriously --- I was in a CVS the other day, and they had a gigantic TWO AND A HALF POUND BOX of Whitman Sampler chocolates. The retail price was $24.99. Is that a good price for chocolate?

Which would you rather buy for $25: a 2-1/2 pound box of candy, or a chocolate-brown later-date Fine-12 large cent?

My family and my wife's family are from there. None of us have been to the museum.

I never visited the Statue of Liberty until after I moved from New York City.
