On May 18th, the 'International Museum Day' is celebrated worldwide. In this context, MGM University celebrated the day with great enthusiasm. The event, organized by the History and Archaeology Department of MGM University, saw enthusiastic participation from students across various departments. The students eagerly engaged in learning about history. They were able to handle and study fossils that are millions of years old, weapons from the Stone Age, various historical artifacts, terracotta toys, and statues from the department's collection. Students from the Sociology department showed great interest and asked several insightful questions. Additionally, the students toured the Annasaheb Takalghvankar Numismatic Gallery, the only coin museum in the city, located on the university campus. They had the opportunity to see coins dating from 2,600 years ago to the present day. The students were amazed to see coins made of gold, silver, and copper that were thousands of years old. They expressed a desire for more such events in the future. The students also engaged in discussions after visiting the museum.
"By being able to physically handle historical objects and witness the journey of how they reach the museum, the students truly experienced museum studies," said one of the professors."By being able to physically handle historical objects and witness the journey of how they reach the museum, the students truly experienced museum studies," said one of the professors.
