National Museum, New Delhi

This guide to the National Museum in New Delhi centers on a ten-and-a-half-centimetre bronze figure from Mohenjo-daro, part of the Indus Valley civilization and given to India when the subcontinent split its artefacts with Pakistan in 1947. It follows what archaeologists Ernest Mackay, John Marshall and Mortimer Wheeler made of her when she was unearthed, and the modern debate over whether she was ever a dancer at all. Stand close to her case before you move on.
