  • Part of this museum is located in a stunning venue the Jaisalmer House! The rest of the museum is in a building that seems to need sprucing up! The art works themselves are outstanding but once...

  • A great place to visit if you like to learn about Indian history. It has a great collection of artefacts and other historical subjects; vast enough that you'll spend hours walking in the galleries and still not see everything! The galleries and exhibitions are beautifully designed, there are also extra activities to do here like a photo booth, free postcards, jewellery making station, colouring and painting station, etc. There are touch screen surfaces too which you can interact with to learn more about history.
