    History

    The Albert Hall Museum, originally intended as a town hall, was designed by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob and completed in 1887. Named after King Edward VII (then Prince Albert Edward), the museum's foundation stone was laid during his visit to Jaipur in 1876. Initially housing industrial arts exhibits, it gradually evolved into a comprehensive museum showcasing Rajasthan's diverse artistic and cultural heritage. Over the years, the museum's collection has expanded significantly, encompassing artifacts from various periods and regions, making it a significant repository of the region's history and traditions.

    The museum is huge and has a lot of collection acquired by the previous rulers. The most fascinating section was the pottery collections from different parts of the world. The beautiful work from different countries was something I really admired. The wooden paintings, arms and weapon collection, the royal angrakhas and many more things to witness here. If you are a museum and history lover, you will definitely enjoy this place. Moreover the museum architecture itself is gorgeous as a must see place.

    This museum houses one of the most beautiful artifacts. And go there in the evening. The view from outside when the lights are switched, looks like u r from another Era. There is an Egyptian Mummy embalmed and kept for more than 4 to 5 centuries and the x ray taken in 2011 still shows that the bones are still intact.
