Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is one of the best museums of India. You can see superb paintings,artifacts, carpets weapons and Royal coaches. To do justice to the museum and to your visit, you must give at least half a day. Engage a good guide to ensure your great learning and satisfying experience.

This sprawling complex, with its gorgeous buildings and marvelous collection of art and artifacts is without parallel in Rajasthan. This museum main focus is on artifacts that were connected to Indian culture. This museum has wide collection of sculptures, paintings or carpets. The Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum is situated inside the City Palace complex at Jaipur. The museum has an excellent collection of the ancestral objects of Kachwaha clans of Amber.
A major part of the ‘City Palace’ now consists of the ‘Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum’. It is also the residence of the Jaipur Royal Family.
Located within the City Palace complex and nestled amidst older buildings, temples and the palace quarters, this museum was launched in 1959 by Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II. The artifacts comprise of the ancestral collections built up by the successive rulers of Amer and Jaipur, and are presently run by a public charitable trust.

This is a doubled up listing with Jaipur City Palace, under its commercial name. There are a number of buildings you can enter, no photos allowed in most of them. The Armoury, textile gallery, durbar hall and coach museum. You can hire audio guides and there is an extended Royal Grandeur tour which takes you into previously off limit areas in the main royal palace. It costs 300Rs to visit and another 200Rs if you want to video anything.

- The museum is decently maintained
- Has a lot of ancient items and weapons used by the maharajas
- Information on the displays is limited...so the historical significance is not highlighted
- Nothing to impress the kids...

This museum is part of the City Palace in Jaipur.
The museum gives a rare glimpse into the 'Maharaja Lifestyle' and a look into the past.
There is a Carriage museum, A clothes Museum and an Armoury.
All can be viewed within the City Palace.

The museum has a small collection of crafts, garments, weapons and art, some nice ceilings and beautiful wooden doors, but nothing really memorable.
The interesting part is the inner courtyard known as Pritam Niwas Chowk, with four gates that represent the four Seasons. In particular, the Northeast gate, dedicated to Lord Vishnu and the Autumn, depicts beautiful peacocks. The green door, dedicated to Lord Ganesha and Spring, is also remarkable.

A lovely walk through the museum as part of the Palace compound with some lovely artefacts on display as well as some interesting story boards.
There are a few sections with a great display of old Indian textiles, the 2 large silver urns (although didn't appreciate the 'helper in uniform' race into my photo & then asked for a payment), weapons, ceremonial room with photos of the Maharajas, furniture, art & clothes.
There is a shop & cafe as well as a museum.
