What an awesome Palace. Very well maintained by Authorities. In the audio guide you can understand so many points. I especially like Darbar Hall. What a Visionary king he was always looking for his peopl's happiness.

Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum is hidden gem in the heart of Vadodara. While I was little short of time however I could appreciate the vast collection. Located within the sprawling Lakshmi Vilas Palace Estate, the museum showcases art pieces that belong to the illustrious Maratha family. European Renaissance and Rococo paintings, portraits, marble busts, and a collection of portraiture by Raja Ravi Verma (more than 30 original paintings). After enjoying the museum you would come across scaled down version of the flying scotsman and it happens to be ...in 2023 The original Flying Scotsman in the UK is celebrating its 100th anniversary, unfortunately the museum here was surely not aware of or else they could have done something more to make it special for the visitors. If you're lucky you might be able to catch a glimpse of cricket at local cricket club right next to the museum.

Museum is hidden inside the lush green surroundings. Gate number 4 of the palace is the entry gate for museum. Due to its secluded nature, you may find it hard to get out of this location. Book ola/uber or ask the auto to wait unless you have your own vehicle. Ticket costs ~150. If you buy ticket along with Laxmi Vilas Palace ticket, they give you discount. So plan to visit palace first. The collection of paintings and statues is impressive. Although Felici's masterpieces dominate the view. There is a Headgear collection which has variety of headgears used in the olden days. At least 1 hr is needed to see the complete museum. Photography is prohibited inside and the mobiles will be collected at the ticket counter. Timing is 10:30 am to 5:30 PM except Monday. Worth visiting, if you have an eye for art. Don't miss to locate peacocks in the surroundings.

Wonderfully maintained palace. An audio guided tour of the palace as default makes the experience an even better tour

Superb sculptures and Raja Ravi Varma's paintings of Maharaja Gaikwad family.

Got to see the real masterpieces of Raja Ravi Varma and other notable artists of their period. Expansive art collection by the Gaikwad Royal family. No photos as it's not allowed inside the museum

The collection of Greek Roman sculptures is only one of its kind in Gujarat. Raja Ravi Verma's painting collection is the main attraction. The most irritating and stupid rule is you have to submit your mobile before entering. They should allow photography on the payment of charges.

This is a very famous and fascinating Museum. The place has famous paintings of Raja Ravi verma, many articals of British and Italian. You can see many Bronzer sculptures, and items hear. The place is located near by Famous Place.

Pretty decent museum - a must visit in Baroda. Could be better maintained in the exteriors

Museum is quite good... Well maintained, and good for the people who love art, an audio device will be given to you for an extra charge of 30 rupees excluding the ticket price...

Maharaja Fatehsingh Museum is one of the best places to visit in Vadodara. It was originally built as a school for the children and now houses a wide range of art pieces that once belonged to the family of Maratha. It also exhibits paintings from the European Renaissance and Rococo art styles, and a collection of portraiture by Raja Ravi Verma. It is one of the famous museums in Vadodara.

I'm taking about museum not on vilas palace. Mausem : It's full of paintings by ravi varam paints nd royal families things are there to display. They don't allow phone and camera inside of museum, it's ok not that much impressive. If I talk about this palce here so many peacocks are lives open freely it's looks so cool.

Do not miss this museum, you can find here great art collection. You can buy the tickets at the entrance here or at Lukshmivilas Vilas. It's 2km from the palace. You need to deposit your mobiles at the counter. Inside you find many marvelous artifacts. Especially a huge collection of Raja Ravi Varma's painting, a whole gallery is dedicated for his work. Apart from this you can find mind-blowing spectacular paintings by many European artists. These paintings will take you back in time and leave you wondering how beautifully they have captured everything be it nature or the people. Also in the gardens here you can find peacocks.

If any one interested in history, they will like this place otherwise nice place to photo shoot. And tickets are costly according to me as the palace has nothing rather than historical things.

The place gives you serenity in the middle of city. A must visit place if you are in Vadodara. The lavishness of the King Gaikwad and the history behind the rulers of Vadodara is well portrayed. The place is clean, highly maintained and perfectly detailed for the visitors.

It's an amazing place with a wonderful painting & sculpture collection of the Gaikwads. I recommend that you buy a combined ticket at the palace itself as the ticket machine breaks down often here.

It was really great experience to visit Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum. I like some paintings which was designed and painted by awesome artirst. That paintings was like 3D you can feel the flow and aura of the paintings. Also there was lots of gifts and memorial things which was gifted to King. From French / China / United Kingdom and other countries have already gifted them so many expensive gifts.

Beautiful Palace outskirts n interiors too.. very well maintained n Gives beautiful experience of exploring palace with Audio that explains each n every place in palace that we walk through

This is the largest Raja Ravi Verma painting collection we've seen... not many people visit this place but if you're in vadodara, please do make time. Also, the combo ticket is available at laxmi vilas palace. There is a toy train that the king bought for his son's school, world's smallest steam locomotive - spot it bang opposite the museum 😀 Pro tip: spend most of the time at the Ravi Verma paintings and skim through rest. There are many copies, read carefully and don't spend much time. Pretty large collection, save yourself from fatigue 😜

Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum is a museum housed within the Maharaja's palace (the Lakshmi Vilas Palace) in Vadodara, India The building was constructed as a school for the Maharaja's children. Today a large number of works of art belonging to the Maratha Royal family are displayed in the museum. The museum contains works of art collected by Maharaja Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III during his numerous trips out of India. The major works of art in this museum are the paintings by European and Indian artists including a collection of the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, who was specially commissioned by the then Maharaja of Baroda. The collection includes portraits of the Royal family in addition to the paintings based on Hindu mythology for which Raja Ravi Varma was famous. There is a collection of sculptures in marble and bronze. These include copies of great masters in bronze commissioned by the Maharaja and also originals by renowned artists. One of the artists commissioned by the Maharaja was an Italian artist Fellicci whose works adorn not only the Museum but also the Lakshmi Vilas Palace. Some of Fellici's works can be seen on the Public Park ( Sayaji Garden also known as Kamati Baug by the locals). The museum has an oriental gallery which houses Japanese and Chinese sculptures and other works collected by the Maharaja on his visits to these countries

It's a very beautiful place. But not properly maintained by the authority. But you get audio guides which are really helpful and makes you travel to a different world, you migrate to the past and can see everything happening there.

A good place to spend some time, they have some good maratha painting collections and you might learn some of the Gaekwad family history.

Amazing place. Must visit place in Vadodara.

Must visit place in Vadodara. Ask for a guide book and ask to see the 3D effect 😉 of the paintings.. No photo or phone allowed..

I had the pleasure of visiting the Maharaj Fatehsingh Museum during my recent trip to Baroda, and I must say it was a truly exceptional experience. The museum's architecture is breathtaking, and the exhibits are exquisite. It was fascinating to learn about the rich history and culture of Baroda through the carefully curated displays. The museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts, including paintings, sculptures, and textiles, which provide a glimpse into the glorious past of the region. The audio guide provided insightful information, which made the visit even more enriching. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were well-maintained. The museum's serene atmosphere was an added bonus, making it a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Overall, the Maharaj Fatehsingh Museum is an absolute must-visit for anyone interested in art, history, or culture. I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting Baroda!"

Just loved it. Whenever you visit do add this palace in your list. It is eye pleasing.. A treat to your eyes. You can also go for Maharana Fatehsingh Museum. The palace and the museum displays the top level of architectures, beautiful sculptures, mind blowing paintings. You can know about different history of different countries. Do visit. The fun fact is the royal family still resides in this palace on the top floor. And the ground floor is entirely dedicated for visitors.

Major works of art by famous painters from Europe and India are displayed here, including a special collection of paintings of Raja Ravi Varma. The museum also has an impressive collection of flawless sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses in bronze and marble.

The museum is in the same campus of Laxmi Vilas palace, but with a different entrance. The museum majorly consists of amazing paintings and artifacts belonging to Gaikwad family. The museum is well kept and ensured all the paintings are in good shape. Some of the paintings were humungous in nature. They also have a small souvenir shop in the same premises.

They won't let you take pictures of anything.. They will keep your phone outside.. nd you'll not be allowed to touch anything inside. Also the ticket costs much more.. so if you don't like art & Craft and paintings much... Nd you just want to hang around and have fun this is not the ideal place for you. Also i got little disappointed coz they didn't let me take any picture for my Instagram. I they should allow the camera inside

👍

Very rarely RAJA RAVIVARMA paintings collections. Good maintain Musium

One of the top 5 destination to visit in Vadodara. Rich in history and architecture. Need 2 hours to explore the palace. Not miss the museum too.

Best place for photography 😂 and also for history lover , greenery and peaceful place

Excellent museum of collection of Maharaj Fatehsingh Gaekwad. Different Paintings are a must watch. You have to enter through gate number 4 of the Lakshmi Vilas Palace to go to the Museum. Staff can speak Marathi, Gujarati and Hindi.

We visited on a weekday afternoon and it was not at all crowded. Ticket price per adult is ₹150. You'll have to deposit your mobile phones at the ticket counter but they didn't check our bags to determine if we are carrying any other electronic device. So deducting half point for low security. The museum is good, especially the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma. When you look closely, the detailing will blow your mind. The arrangement is also done very neatly. Only issue is the lighting arrangement. An art gallery needs to have specialized lights to focus on the painting and not a general white tubelight due to which viewers were seeing their own reflections in the paintings. Cutting another half a point there. More investment is required to change the lights which will do justice to the paintings in real sense.

Good place for history learning regarding sayajigayakwad artifacts and paintings. there is one train engine is also placed which is very rare collection, must visit. Everyone should visit this place once in life time. good maintain all details, also there is audio guidance available. Museum is not far away from Laxmi villas palace. road availability and approach is very good.

Museum entry fee is Rs.150/- per person and Rs.30/- extra if you want Audio guide. Photography is not allowed inside the museum. You have to deposit all your luggage to entry counter. Must visit museum to witness the beautiful creations of the great artists. Also my advice to take Audio guide for knowing the history behind each creation.

The museum - a pvt collection of the Gaekwad family; erstwhile rulers of Baroda ; is very rare, rich and impressive. The highlight is the 43 paintings by Raja Ravi Verma...just priceless. The artist has drawn situations and people from Hindu Vedas but with a maharashtrian touch - you will see damyanti, janki, etc dressed in maharashtrian attire and jewellery. Don't miss it. Mobiles, cameras not allowed and need to be deposited at entrance. A combo ticket along with Laxmi nivas palace will save 25 bucks. Free parking available. Small cafe with limited options available.

Amazing place. Amazing experience. Pay attention to the two paintings with horses in the central room. If you can't see , ask the curator. No photo allowed. Ask for the book guide when buying the tickets

The painting are depicted so well and each painting has a story behind it . The crockery are so well maintained and displayed in its best way , you can visualise the various types of pagadi used in Ahmedabad during different time periods you can spend around 30-45 minutes over here . Best place of art works

Superb

The place visually is very attractive and gives a sense of royalty. There is a guide who explains you the detail and the backstory of all the paintings and statues. There are some specialities in some of the statues, like some are made of only one rock. Then there is furniture of China, and the paintings made by Raja Ravi Varma which look so real, some paintings that are double sided and some made by the English people. And then at least there were these detailed accessories of their time some of China, Japan and the Marathas like utensils, clothes and caps and pagdis. A must visit place overall 👍😀

A good place to learn the history of a great place Baroda 🙂

If you are very passionate for art it is very beautiful ❤ , all paintings,sculpture,art are awesome. Must see 😃

It's a beautiful building with parts of the palace open to the public and it is also in use as a residence for the royal family. Great heritage site in Vadodara.

Good, informative place, nice atmosphere but too costly150₹

Many many historical things are there and It's so mind blowing. Specially Raja ravi verma's prints.

Must visit

Highly recommend taking the audio tour

Variety of old statues, pictures, art and many more items are available do visit

Must see the painting collection of raja ravi verma in this museum..

Not at all worthy ! Instead of this visit Baroda Museum! If you are too much in art and crafts than you might like it but otherwise not worth at all ! They wont allow to take photos because other might not come after seeing photos! 😂

Good but need some more antiques to showcase..it was more like art gallery, few war weapons were also there. A brief history along with would bring it a little more alive..

Very well maintained museum. A myriad collection of artworks including marble statues, procelian and glass works.

Excellent museum

Nice painting

The striking Laxmi Vilas Palace was constructed in 1890 and it has stuctural look of all four religion like Temple, Church, Gurudwara, Mosque and it took nearly twelve years to complete it. Sprawling across an area of about 700 acres, it has now golf course which is paid and can be used to play .

Awesome paintings and statue, a memorable place in my life. Like to visit again to explore more

Nice paintings mixture of Indian, Chinese and Japanese art

Great

(Translated by Google) Amazing museum (Original) Amazing musiam

Paintings are adorable

Lovely

Very nice place

Excellent museum. There are many paintings of Raja Ravi Verma. A must visit place. This is near to Laxmi Vilas Palace. Also a must visit place. I think both of these places are closed on Thursday. The ticket price for museum is 125/-. The ticket can be bought at either Laxmi Vilas Palace or at the museum itself. You should buy an audio guide (available in Hindi and English only) also worth rupees 30. The audio guide is 1 hour 18minutes long.

Place where u will learn about the history

Well maintained museum

If you are planning to visit, then do take the audio service as well, where it narrates each and every piece in the gallery and you will feel like you are experiencing each and every narration in real life

Good for history lovers ,ok for others ,may be visited--

Very costly and you will get to know almost nothing about the place.. it would be better if they assigen a tourist guide and allow camera inside the fort.

Very good

Heritage lovers will love it

Super

Historical and beautiful place

Not taking keeping the maintenance of the things which are kept to see inside the museum.

Nothing exciting in museum waste of money and time

Museum is superb.

Nice museum

Nice museum 👍🏼

TIME WASTE AND MONEY WASTE

Excellent place to visit

Place is good & Museum not good

Nice collection of old and historical event

Gr8 place for History Lovers Egyptian Mummy and 3 D hand painting of Two Horse facing each other were unique

Nice place but very hard to find from laxmi vials temple should have board so that people from other places will find it easily

Good staff and nicely maintained

The art is a treat for eyes. But submission of cellphones at common counter with total lack of safety is ridiculous experience, the management must understand, if they want to collect entry charges then depositing someone's personal propert without a Locker in totally unacceptable... Ridiculous medieval mindset

This was the school build by Maharaja Fateh Singh Gayakwad for royal children in their family. The Musium have a lot of collection of painting of famous artist like Raja Ramdev Varma. Also You can see 3D painting made by hand ( House rider, Sea, Women, Length changing staircase) *Must ask the guide available over there* Facilities Available Parking Available 🚗 🏍️🛵 Tickets 150 Adult person Indian

It is at gate three and if you don't have a personal vehicle then ask auto to take you till ticket counter otherwise it's a long walk from the main gate of the palace property. Museum has excellent collection of pictures of Raja Ravi Varma and other masters. Collection of beautiful artifacts, statues, and glass work. Audio guide is good and come with extra cost. Just ensure that they have changed it properly. Photography is not allowed.

Museum is a super place for those interested in Art and culture. Raja Ravi Verma has been phenomenal with his art presented here. Each of his paintings is a true art delight and has intricate detailed work.

Don't buy tickets for museum along with palace ticket at the palace.This place is 2km away from the Luxmi Vilas Palace so if you visit the palace first then you'll feel exhausted and feel like not going to museum and if you don't have own vehicle the better skip this place. This place has hundreds of rare stunning paintings, antiques from various countries, beautiful bronze, stone, marbel, wooden Statue. Phone is not allowed inside the museum.

Maharaja Fateh Singh museum is owned and maintained by a trust . Entry fee is 150 and photography strictly prohibited. It worths the money spent as ther are somany original works of Raja Ravi Varma, specially sketched for the royale family. you can also see manu copy of famous works by European artists. well maintained. you can avail audio assistance for Rs 30 . the photos showing in other reviews are of laxmi vilas palace. that is a separate museum and entry fee is 250

Nice place to visit for art lovers, good collection of raja ravi varma. European art gallery and the history behind the museum is also nice. You can take the audio guide for 30₹. Mobile and bags are not allowed inside,so you can submit the same on ticket counter free of charge.

Ravi Shankar paintings are good. Rest u can take audio guide but it's quiet slow.

Nice Museam...must visit...except Monday...

Amazing experience! Water, any tipe of food, cell phone, camera - NOT ALLOWED You have to give it to the storage room Water you can put to the fridge which is outside. Incredible paintings from 400 years old. Painted by Italian, Venetian and French artists. Some paintings in 3D And its really amazing You can also see marble busts, Chinese vases and porcelain. They will also tell you and show you all the highlights of the museum.

Beautiful pictures are there. But lighting is not good. We can see our own reflection rather than the fine details in the art. Please take care to illuminate properly so that everyone can really enjoy such beautiful works

Not worth of 150₹ tickets 🎟 Small museum without modern facilities like AC.. Tickets are costlier It’s better if tickets price 25₹ only

A place worth visiting for art lovers. Apart from Raja Ravi Varma's mythological paintings, there are painting of several European artists as well.

Lavish palace. Wide collection of artifacts. Entry tickets are costly in comparison to the area offered for tourists to visit. Audio guides are old and useless

The museum presents history of Baroda in a pretty interesting way. The change in culture which British brought is depicted even with the accent of walls, and dinnerware set. I really adored the porcelain cutlery. Though one is not allowed to photograph the place and as soon as one enters the museum it is understandable why it is forbidden. Also They provide locker facility for mobile phones.

Nice
