Museums are the keepers and interpreters of civilizations, where one can explore different artistic endeavors. Moreover, museums are now established as a means of communication of human culture to the viewers. The visitors expect ready background knowledge from the museum's exhibition. So, this article deals with the representation of the Buddha in symbolic and imagery forms in the museums of Eastern India; and, whether museums can create and maintain an effective communication in educating the public through visual interpretation on the moral principles of the Buddha and Buddhist identity.
