Hidden and neglected
A store house of several destroyed Somnath Mandirs. Unfortunately poorly promoted, very writeups and details of artefacts and badly maintained. Really sad reflection on trying to conserve this heritage.

Story of Somnath
The museum is now located where an old Prabhas Patan Temple once stood. I would say this museum has the actual essence of Somnath - its past glory, relics, artifacts, idols, stone slabs (mentioning its past - in Brahmi, Sanskrit, Pali and Arabic/Persian scripts). Each stone remains, tells a story of its glorious past and existential threat. The stone relics has seen destruction and rebuild of Somnath over 1000 years. A good collection of Jain idols (some intact, some desecrated) shows there was influence of Jainism in Prabhas Patan A must visit if anyone is interested in History. Entry fees is nominal Rs.5 per person but for photography one has to shell Rs. 100. This museum is closed on Wednesdays and Public Holidays. Close to current Somnath Temple but located in a busy alley, so keep a watch to your right if coming from Somnath Temple side.

Ancient Parts protected ... great job
This museum has protected the parts of earlier Somnath Temples. It is really a great job by the Somnath Trust. The archaeology lovers must visit this place and see the sculptures from old somnath temple.

Archaeological heaven
Though others may not find the museum much attractive but archaeological students/enthusiasts would appreciate and easily can pass few hours in this small museum.
