★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nicely arranged and well preserved museum. Articles from Indian History especially, from ancient history can be observed here. There is also an art gallery within the enclosure which can be accessed through same ticket (I didn’t know that and lost it only to buy another?).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The building needs a little upkeep. But it was really fascinating to see some pretty old stuff. Who knew they have artefacts from around 3000 BCE! The place is really pretty too.
