About Chandradhari Museum
Opened in 1957 around the private collection of Chandradhari Singh, a zamindar of Ranti in Madhubani, and housed on the shore of the Mansarovar tank. The strengths are ivory carvings, Mithila paintings, brass and bell metal, and a run of medieval stone sculptures from the region. It is small and quiet, an hour at most, and closed on Mondays.
