Excellent small museum type place to visit. My wife and I spent about 2 hours at this place. There are a lot of paintings, sculptures, and very unique pieces. You do not need any audio guide because everything is written.

one of the most picturesque locations of jaipur which boasts of beauty, splendor and loads of old world charm... the building in itself is very imposing surrounded by large gardens on all sides giving a tranquil setting to it.... The display is amazing including the Egyptian mummy on display which is very rare to see on this side of the... More

quite disappointing being the central museum in Jaipur. it shows art pieces with descriptions in English, but it's not very interesting at all... The composite ticket we bought in Amber Fort includes the entrance fee of this museum.

To visit Albert Hall early in the morning and see the competing flocks of pigeons swirling through the spires and arches of this delicately proportioned structure is an uplifting experience. However to return later in the day and enter the museum, to find what is possibly a rather valuable collection housed in dusty broken cabinets, or sitting obscured behind cracked... More

A beautiful colonial style building with a higher quality of Architectural detail and aesthetic appreciation than most of the 'palaces' in India, which are plaster faced monoliths. It has beatiful stonework and arch work plus the ceilings have a quality in their detail. Regrettably the rooms are crammed with 'stuff' from India, Egypt etc. in poorly lit and badly organised...

Museum surely got good collection but can be maintained in better way, less organized and poorly lit up. This place surely needs your lots of time, situated opposite Jaipur Zoo and less than couple of km from Birla temple so club or plan your visit accordingly. Small paid parking is available here. Composite ticket is valid here

Iems are not very well displayed and photos are hard to take through plexiglass. Audio guide was mediocre. However, you cannot come to Jaipur and not see the museum. Some cool art pieces. Overall about an hour to go through it efficiently. You can buy the "composite ticket" for five major sights of Jaipur here.
