In 1910 Mr. W.A. Jardine, the then British administrator of Bundelkhanda collected some archaeological elements from the temple complex of Khajuraho and displayed those objetcs in an open air enclosure near the western group of temples and later it became as Jardine Museum. In 1952 it was taken over by the Archaeological Survey of India and transformed it into archaeological museum. The museum has five galleries and the elements reflect Brahmanical, Jaina, and Buddhist faiths.

Among these the huge image of Buddha, Nritta Gansha (image of Ganesh), Hari-Haro (a mixed image of Shiva and Vishnu), Uma-Maheshwara (image of Shiva and Durga), Ambika (Jain Goddess), Vaikuntha (four headed Vishnu), Andhakasuravadhamurti (image of Durga) are worth to mention. The museum is open on all days from 10 AM to 5 PM except on Fridays.
