Good place. There many antique pieces are shown in an organized manner. Well maintained and everything has a detailed explanation. There is shoe rack outside the museum and you have to keep your shoes outside before entering. The entry fee is Rs.100/person. If you want to see every antique thing with details, it will take much time.

This is a great place to see and understand the culture of our land. Lot of antiques and artefacts are gathered from different parts of India. Arranged nicely. One has to appreciate the effort because all this is done without government or public help. The tickets cost Rs 100 per head and 100 for photography..

This place was an unexpected surprise, and a very pleasant one. Loved the exhibits, and the sheer volume of items was surprising. Special shout-out to the very knowledgeable employee who explained to us the history of some of the items we were interested in, how those were procured and dated, and the background of the museum itself.
