Ive been visiting this place on and off since I was a kid. Always mesmerized by the collection held here. Although, this particular time it was a bit disappointing to see the state of the building. Perhaps some care can be shown to modernize the display cases specially on the ground floor to really show how impressive this collection is. The pieces are beyond impressive but presentation let's them down a little bit.
Salar Jung museum is too good with varieties of artifacts from different time span of history. There are more than 30 galleries, each gallery is museum in itself. Easily need 3 hours to have a look at each galleries. Buy ticket to click photos to save your memory with part of history. Don't forget to experience the musical watch which is biggest attraction here.
Best Museum in India.
It is the best museum in India with artifacts from across the globe. Each individual will find something of their interest in many of their rooms.
You will find the canteen and seating area inside the museum.
Tickets are available at the counter, but easier online. To take photos, another tkt is needed, no one checked it though. It is a good museum with some specific items of daily and general use from few centuries ago and some paintings and sculpture. Some utensils and china ware was interesting.
I like to return again and again. It was very crowded though.
It's a great place for those who are interested in historical things, 2-3 hours required to complete the visit, canteen available inside, outside food not allowed.
Parking available but you may face shortage of space. Mobile/backpack not allowed, clock room available to deposit these things on payment basis. Mobile camera allowed on payment of Rs. 50/- per mobile.
It's better to take tickets online in advance.
Best museum in Hyderabad. Must visit place. Need 3-4 hrs to visit and enjoy each section. Carefully collected antique items from all over the world. Don't miss place
The place is great for history and art enthusiasts. It was full packed down on Saturday when I visited. People come with full families.
There are so many attractions in the museum. We waited for the musical clock but it was not that worth it.
But, the elephant tusk section is really good, though. Metal section is also really good. It's way way better than the museum at Chowmahalla Palace.
The cafeteria is okay, you will get everything but would have to pay good money. Not enough space, it was total chaos at the cafeteria. Although, there is a restaurant, it was outside the main museum building.
Visit on a weekday if you want to explore peacefully but I have heard, its mostly crowded everyday.
This museum is one of the main attractions of Hyderabad. The museum is filled with art ! There are beautiful paintings, sculptures and figures. It really talks about our history as well as the history of places from all around the world. This is also the place where the original sculpture of the Veiled Rebecca lies. The galleries present depict various times of history from various countries other than India. This museum is underrated for what it offers. There is parking available on site. There is also a canteen in the museum. Be prepared to walk in the museum.
Providing a captivating journey through the dynastic past. The museum offers a rich tapestry of artifacts, each telling a unique story of the eras. Exploring its exhibits becomes a fascinating exploration of the history of Hyderabad and its rulers. The meticulously curated collection allows visitors to connect with the cultural legacy, unraveling the nuances of the city's history. It's not just a museum; it's an immersive experience that becomes even more enriching when shared with children. Spending time here with kids offers a valuable opportunity to impart a tangible understanding of Hyderabad's history, creating lasting memories and fostering a sense of appreciation for the cultural heritage. Only drawback, needed more maintenance else everything is good here.
Great place to visit for arts and culture enthusiasts.
The cafeteria located on the ground floor only accepts cash and cards. UPI facility is not available.
Also there is limited seating space and it tends to get crowded around the afternoon.
