Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum is a museum standing in the center of Pune city with a good collection of articles from around the Medieval period of India when the Marathas, Peshwas and Sultanates.

This museum has some very good collections to see, will certainly be a love-spot for them, who love history and its remains. The collections are not very old but 90% of them are between 1700 AD - 2000 AD. I was glad to see Mastani's (Bajirao's Wife) Bed and her royal collections.
what a place with marvelous collection of antiques of the peshwa era people studying history must visit to gain from it a very well org museum
An Amazing collection of the everyday tools and gadgets, things that were onced used and most of them never were used again. Here we can see how life was, and how it is now... how the consevation techniques are real important... i really liked this one
