Nothing Special, can be dropped if you are running on clock. The museum is so small that you will not find anything special which you might have not seen in Mehrangarh Fort. The only thing is you will see a lot pf photos of royal family if that is of your interest. Most of the part of Umaid Bhawan is now hotel which gives royal feel incase you are staying there.

Great museum but doesn’t let you into the hotel so don’t be under any illusions that you can go to the hotel for a cup of tea. Access to the hotel is by booking into it only. No outside guests. Museum was interesting - the palace was build by London architects and finished in 1945. It is spectacular. But you need access to the hotel to see it’s magnificence. I would recommend a one night stay there. It’s worth the money (it’s expensive). The car collection is disappointing as the cars were dusty and labour is cheap in India so we were surprised they weren’t polished every day.

This grand yellow sandstone palace spreads over 26 acres of gardens, popular as one of the largest private residences in the world. It is built between 1928 and 1943, Umaid Bhawan Palace is a magnificent piece of Rajasthan’s heritage, and a symbol of new Jodhpur.The Palace comprises of – the residence of the royal family, a luxury Taj Palace Hotel, and a Museum focusing on the 20th-century history of the Jodhpur Royal Family. The palace was designed as a blend of western technology and Indian architectural features. Don’t miss the vintage car collection which is one the highlights of the museum.

The museum is all about the royal family of Jodhpur. There are 6 halls having royal family pics, possessions etc. Vintage car museum is worthless as they are just kept with basic details without proper cleaning etc. You can't visit the hotel or restaurant unless you are staying there. Eatables are not allowed inside so plan accordingly. You can keep them at gate with guard. You can visit the place without hiring guard as they don't add much value. There is small cafeteria which provide kulfi, tea etc only.

Tourists/ visitors can enter this museum by entrance ticket during the visiting hours, which otherwise is a five star hotel which is open only for the room guests of the hotel. The museum is in a part of this palace with a large collections of royal items nicely displayed in glass cases. One should visit this museum to also have nice glimpse of the beautiful palace from the outside which is otherwise not open for local public and tourists

The palace is one of the only few tourist attractions of Jodhpur. It's divided into 3 parts as a museum, kings palace and hotel. It's not a old palace, as made very recently. Usually the organise luxury weddings here. You can only access the museum as a tourist which is just a third part of the whole palace. The displays and architecture are beautiful. The garage with vintage cars would be the thing to add and one should definitely see.
