Extraordinary painting work at display. Other sections of the museum are also good. The architecture is beautiful and pictorial but it can be better if surrounding are cleaned and managed like a proper tourist spot. I would recommend to visit.

A well maintained museum.

Never expected this clean and collections here.

Worth a visit, the effort by Dr. Thomas Holbein Hendley is much appreciated and valued a fortune to understand the ancient culture, art work and weapon collection.

I spent a day in this museum and was really happy and satisfied.

Inside the museums have the ground floor and first floor.
I noticed the crowd on the ground floor and chose to go on the first floor first. But after seeing the first floor, I realized I couldn't walk down anymore. I have to exist from the first floor.
I tried to go back into the lower area but security stopped me.

There should be a board at stairs so that tourists may easily explore them.

The museum is very old and has lots of exhibits from India and abroad. Interested to find Egyptian and Roman culture represented through various exhibits and paintings. It requires quite some time to see if you are interested in history and facts. Night time lights are also wonderful.

Never miss this place if you are planning to visit Jaipur. This museum has lots to offer - from unique statues and pottery to carpets and mummy. The 'palace-like' building also looks extremely beautiful, especially at night. Entry fee is 52 per person.
However as a traveller, we had a really bad experience from the Jaipur police. Our rented two wheeler was impounded without any notice or reason and was asked to pay a hefty fine. Even though we parked our vehicle along with other parked vehicles, they just took ours, knowing that it's a rented one. There was no sign board or cops nearby to address the issue as well. We had to ask locals and walk several distances to find our vehicle.
Even then, their behaviour was rude and ruthless. It seems as if they have a problem with South Indians. It's such a shame to be treated like this from the Police as it will give a negative impression on anyone visiting there. Beware of such scam.🚨

Loved the museum, but then I like visiting museums so i may be partial :-)
It is very well managed and there are tons of objects to see. Pottery section is worth mentioning, specially you can see the differences and similarities between different styles based on geographic location and time period. Armory and sculpture section is also well maintained. Everything is described in detail and you do not need a guide. It will take few hours to view it completely. There is a Cafe , clean washroom and ample parking space nearby. This location is covered in the combined entry ticket.

It was a nice setup. Visited here at night. The view of the museum building at night was a feast for eyes which was decorated with coloured lights. They charge rs 50 per head for the ticket. Inside the museum hall there are different types of galleries which have a collection of arms, carpets, blue pottery, sculptures, and many more. The palace in which the museum is set up is also a piece of artwork.

One of the best museums!! If you are interested in history and ancient collection then this is a must visit for you.

It has all the ancient things from coins to armoury.

Plus the place is well maintained.

Add it to your bucket list for your next Jaipur visit.

Very nice place. All the collection is appreciated. They also have a mummy preserved which is unique as that i have not seen in any other museum except Kolkata till now.
Visit in early daytime to avoid crowd.

Many hawkers are present outside to get refreshment.

It take 1.5 hours to see each and everything patiently.

DSLR Not Allowed.
Entry Tickets Yes
Must Visit Early around 9 AM

Definitely a must do when in Jaipur. The museum is included in the composite ticket so make sure you get one to skip the line. All exhibits are well explained so you may not hire a guide.

Divya Siri 2023 Nov 14

Beautiful museum with eye-catching view in the evening. Current timings of the museum is -ticket counter closes by 7pm. Google mentioned timings of re-opening at 7pm is wrong. I had to miss the inside visit, since I followed timings mentioned in google. From morning till 7pm tickets and entry inside museum will be made available

Pradeep Kumar Singh 2023 Nov 12

A great place to spend your time. The museum is properly arranged and described in a great way.
You will love to spend about 2 to 3 hours if you are a fan of ancient history. There is an Egyptian section as well, where they have a Mummy, yes, a Mummy as well.
The whole place is great to explore. You are allowed to take pictures or record videos with your mobile. Just make sure you don't touch anything, for obvious reasons.
Also, the building is beautifully lit up in the evening. A lot of people are usually taking their pre-wedding photos in front of the place.

For anyone fascinated by history, this museum might offer a good insight into the history of Jaipur. Few things you'll find inside in random order: swords, rifles, shields, old coins dating up to 1000 BC. You can also see a real life mummy here!

I'd recommend getting a guide here if you're short on time as they can take you through the items and their significance quickly.

Debasis Ray 2023 Oct 26

Beautiful architecture and buck on the city centre. Very big collection of antique items and overall informative experience. Entry fee is bit high as compared to other museums and is also bit crowded.

Ramandeep Singh 2023 Oct 15

Albert Hall Museum is historical and archaeological museum built in 1876.
Ticket price is Rs 52/person. You will find lots of students and visitors here.
Inside the museum, you will find a wide range of exhibits, including sculptures, pottery, paintings, jewelry, costumes, and arms and armor from both Rajasthan. One of the most striking exhibits is the Egyptian mummy.
