    If you only have a few minutes, start at the ground floor coin display. The silver coins from the 17th century Kumaon kingdom give a quick visual timeline, while the copper pieces hint at early trade links. After that, a quick walk up to the first floor stone age flint tools shows how early people adapted to the high altitude. If you’re interested in the manuscripts, the second floor wing has a few illustrated examples that illustrate local scripts. A quick coffee at Sunita Elite nearby can finish the visit.
