Salar Jung Museum

After our brunch this morning, I convinced some of the peeps to come with me to the Salar Jung museum which has a huge collection of Indian art, sculptures, pottery, weapons, etc.

The most interesting piece was called the Vailed Rebecka, which is an Italian marble statue of a standing women completely covered in a flowing vail. The vail looks so realistic that I couldn't figure out why that had covered this statue with a big white sheet. The whole thing is one block of chiseled marble.
