Virat Nagar was the capital of the legendary Matsayadesh.
Frequent references of Matsayadesh have been made in the Indian epic- the
Mahabharat. In the epic period, the area around the district of
Jaipur, Alwar and
Bharatpur came to be known as Matsayadesh
with Virat Nagar as its capital.
The museum, although not very large has the richest collection. The
excavated material like potteries, pikkins, old coins, seals, metallic
pieces, weapons and statues have been exhibited here.
