This museum is one of the main attractions of Hyderabad. The museum is filled with art ! There are beautiful paintings, sculptures and figures. It really talks about our history as well as the history of places from all around the world. This is also the place where the original sculpture of the Veiled Rebecca lies. The galleries present depict various times of history from various countries other than India. This museum is underrated for what it offers. There is parking available on site. There is also a canteen in the museum. Be prepared to walk in the museum.
Awesome experience, You must need to visit Salar Jung if you visit Hyderabad, Required minimum whole day if you really want to see everything in details, Food of canteen is average.
Fantastic experience 🙂
Fantastic experience 🙂
The place is great for history and art enthusiasts. It was full packed down on Saturday when I visited. People come with full families.
There are so many attractions in the museum. We waited for the musical clock but it was not that worth it.
But, the elephant tusk section is really good, though. Metal section is also really good. It's way way better than the museum at Chowmahalla Palace.
The cafeteria is okay, you will get everything but would have to pay good money. Not enough space, it was total chaos at the cafeteria. Although, there is a restaurant, it was outside the main museum building.
Visit on a weekday if you want to explore peacefully but I have heard, its mostly crowded everyday.

Absolutely love this place. If you're a history enthusiast, then this place is a heaven. They have a very vast yet finer collection of pieces. The art gallery is astounding. Words seriously cannot describe the brilliance of this place.
Amazed to see the collections of just one man that spread across 2 floors. Well maintained alleys rooms and lights add to the ambiance. For more details, the authority offers an app for an audio enabled guided tour. I haven't tried the same, but someone availed that the facility can comment on how helpful it is. Do not forget to sit on the chairs in front of the famous manual musical clock to capture the hourly chimes. Ivory room, clock room, and the double faced sculpture Mephistopheles & Margaretta are must watch.
One among the three national museum in the country. A Museum built extraordinary. Different galleries are placed in two floors. Which bears native as well as foreign collections. The foremost thing you should keep in mind is that , make sure you have at least 2-3 hours minimum to spend here. That much is the extent of this museum. We have to take additional tickets for mobile phones or camera inorder to take photo from inside the museum. Marble statue named veiling Rebecca built by an Italian is one of the main attraction. musical clocks are also one of the attraction. Drinking water, neat and hygienic toilet and wash rooms are maintained which is to be appreciated. Also a food court is there inside the museum. Which will help you to refresh during a 3-4 hours expedition inside the museum. Museum is differently able friendly too.
My visit to the Salar Jung Museum was quite enjoyable. The museum boasts an extensive collection of art and historical artifacts, which is impressive. However, I found that some areas could benefit from more detailed descriptions or interactive elements to enhance the visitor experience. The museum staff were friendly and willing to answer questions, which was appreciated. Overall, it's a worthwhile visit for history and art enthusiasts, but a bit more engagement could make it even better.
