EXHIBITS
While the museum seeks to play a key role in creating awareness among the present generations, its primary objective is to preserve all the evidence of Vaishnava heritage, living traditions as well as intangible heritage which are disappearing very fast. Gaudiya Mission has an extremely rich collection of resources such as artifacts, manuscripts, etc. Besides these, the museum will feature some extremely valuable exhibits like Adhaksaja- Vishnu Vigraha and its Simhasana as used to worship by Jagannath Mishra and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu found at Mayapur as well as original hand-writing of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, among other items.
