The correct answer is 1919.

  • Sir John Marshall established an archaeological museum in 1919, which was later transformed into the present site museum at Sanchi.

  •  Marshall was educated at Dulwich College as well as King's College, Cambridge.
    • In 1898 he won the Porson Prize.
    • In 1902 he was appointed Director-General of Archaeology by Lord Curzon within the British Indian administration, and modernised the approach to archaeology on that continent, introducing a programme of cataloguing and conservation of ancient monuments and artefacts.
    • It was thanks to Marshall that Indians were allowed for the first time to participate in excavations in their own country.
    • In 1913, he began the excavations at Taxila, which lasted for twenty years.
    • He laid the foundation stone for the Taxila museum in 1918.
