You will get to see the items used by the ancient men of the locality, paintings and sculptures made by the ancient inhabitants, ornaments, garments and other goods used by local people, a brief history of the place and many other things.

Sometimes, the residences of the eminent persons turn up into museums; such museums usually preserve the items used by the person along with their family history and biography so that people can learn about them. Such museums may help you know more about those famous persons.
