    Heritage, Historical & Highly Recommended Museum Of Pink City "Jaipur"
    The Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur is the oldest museum of the state and functions as the state museum of Rajasthan. The building is situated in Ram Niwas Garden outside the city wall opposite New gate and also Jaipur Zoo and is a fine example of Indo Sara Scenic architecture . It is also called the Government Central Museum. The museum building was designed by Samuel Swinton Jacob in Indo-Saracenic architecture with Rajput influences. Check out the review photos for the ticket prices and operating hours.

    Interesting collection
    Foreigners pay here - like in all other places - a few times more for admission than locals. The oldest museum m in Rajasthan has an extensive collection. I was fascinated with the intricate beauty of the building of Albert Hall Museum by itself. Makes you want to stare at the details and enjoy.

    Interesting relatively small museum in Jaipur City
    The Albert Hall building is worth a visit - or at least a slow drive by if in Jaipur. It is a mix of colonial British and Indian architecture and quite a sight. The museum itself is an ecletic mix of carpet, textiles, pottery, sculpture, paintings and weapons. Many are Indian in origin, but there is also a fair amount of European and Asian. The very finely painted works (using a single hair strand) were the highlight for me. The galleries are relatively small and the whole museum can be done inside 2 hours at most - and you can easily skip areas if you want to.

    Albert Hall Museum Jaipur: A Captivating Journey into History and Culture
    Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur is a treasure trove of historical and cultural marvels that leaves visitors in awe. The museum's stunning architecture and extensive collection of artifacts offer an immersive experience into Rajasthan's rich heritage. From intricately designed textiles to captivating paintings and sculptures, each exhibit tells a story of the region's artistic prowess. The museum's well-curated displays and informative descriptions enhance the overall experience. The preservation efforts deserve applause, as the artifacts are impeccably maintained. The only minor drawback is the occasional crowding, but it doesn't diminish the museum's allure. Albert Hall Museum is a must-visit for history and art enthusiasts, earning a solid 4.5/5.0 stars. Since there is no option of 4.5 so i am giving 5 stars.

Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur is housed in a splendid building which is worth a visit for that sake itself. The purpose-built building is a superior example of Indo-Saracenic architecture.

So, a visit to appreciate the building is a must for those visiting Jaipur. Beyond that, there is little to recommend the museum to visitors. The collection on display is of uneven quality, made worse by little effort to curate the collection in any kind of temporal or thematic organisation. The main impression one comes away with is of haphazard display of a mishmash collection of poor quality and fairly recent artefacts, many being mere replicas.

Much can be said of the extremely rude staff that man the museum. They act like petty sovereigns and enforce rules at their whim and fancy. For instance, there is absolutely no mention of cameras being disallowed and no provision for a camera fee, as is the case in many other places. One did look closely and there is no such notice anywhere in the museum premises. The staff however insist that all photography be restricted to mobile phones only and no cameras can be used. No one understands this logic except the staff themselves who happily permit flash photography (which is not permitted by any good museum anywhere) using mobile cameras but no cameras!! And, the staff implementing this rule are downright misbehaved, rude, arrogant and frankly, complete misfit for interacting with the public. Similarly, the staff manning the various rooms seem to think of themselves as school monitors, herding visitors in very high-handed manner. If one decides to read all the text accompanying the displays, one may indeed face the risk of bodily being ejected since the guards and staff cannot countenance that the members of the public have a right to read the text!

So, while a visit the Albert Hall Museum is recommended for the architecture, be wary of being downright insulted and very possibly, shouted at the premises in the process.

The maintenance is also poor and could do with better cleanliness and facilities.
