    The National Rail Museum in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, displays exhibits on the history of rail transport in India. The museum was inaugurated on 1 February 1977. The museum spans over an area of over 11 acres and the indoor gallery comprises of an octagonal building which houses six display galleries and a large open area is laid out to simulate the atmosphere of a railway yard. It is open every day except Mondays and national holidays. It's a wonderful place to spent time with kids and family. It gives you a very informative tour regarding the history of Indian Railways. Toy Train journey is a unique attraction. The premise is well maintained, very neat and clean. Entry tickets are reasonable priced but you have to purchase separate tickets for toy train and few other rides.

    Located at Chandrasekhar Park, Company Garden. Kindly take entry from gate number 2. Entry price is 50 per person. Online prices may vary kindly check before coming. Bag submission options available for free. A place contains the evidence of our freedom fighting. A special showcase for Azad ji. However, different historical things are available to see and explore. A unique combination of showing ancient things in a modern technical way

    Must Visit One of the best places to visit in Delhi NCR Loved it. It is rail museum in true sense. A great collection . Very well maintained. A lot of photo genic frames to capture your moments . Toy train is an added attraction. One issue is accessibility: It is advisable to visit by your own vehicle as it will take a lot of time to get a cab. Price of tickets are on higher side or a bit expensive. In short just go for it..

    This unique museum has a fascinating and exotic collection of over 100 real size exhibits of Indian Railways. Static and working models, signaling equipments, antique furnitures, historical photographs and related literature etc. are displayed in the museum. The line-up of old coaches includes the handsome Prince of Wales Saloon, built in 1875. Not to be outdone is the Maharaja of Mysore's Saloon built in 1899 with its brocade covered chairs and an elegant rosewood bed; one can peer in through the windows for a good look. National Rail Museum The star attraction here is the Fairy Queen, built in 1855 and considered to be one of the best preserved steam locomotive engines of her age. A ride in joy train and mono rail (PSMT) is the most exciting experience besides boating. Do not miss the handsome Fire Engine on your way out.

    *The Allahabad Museum is located in the famous Chandrasekhar Azad Park, known as the green company Bagh of the Civil Lines area. It is about three kilometers from Prayag, Allahabad City (Rambagh) and Allahabad Junction stations and 12 kilometers from Bamrauli Airport. In 1863, the Revenue Council requested the Government of North West Province to set up public library and a museum. With the grant of the provincial government, the famous archivists Sir William Myor and Maharaja Vijay Nagaram were appointed as Superintendent Library and Museum and in 1878 AD the inauguration of Arnett Bhavan was kept and the collection collected. In 1881, the museum closed due to unavoidable reasons. The venture to reopen the museum was started in 1923-24 AD by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Chairman, Allahabad Municipal Board, under the directions of the then Executive Officer of the Board, Pt. Brijmohan Vyas, and in 1931 the museum opened in the Municipal Building. The tireless efforts of Pt. Vyas have acquired important collections for the museum which houses the ancient sculpture of Bharhut and Bhumra districts Satna, Madhya Pradesh. In 1942 AD, S.C. Kala, the first curator, made necessary pressures for the richness of the museum's collections, particularly notable Nehru's personal collections and the Bengal School of Painting. Due to the location, it was decided that the museum should be shifted from the building of the Municipal Board to the existing building of Company Bagh or Chandrashekhar Azad Park. The foundation stone of the present museum building which was called Prayag Museum was laid by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 14 December 1947 and in 1954 the museum was opened to the general public. In view of the important collection of artifacts, in September 1985, it was declared an institution of national importance by the Department of Culture, Government of India. A committee came into existence on 6 September 1985 under the Committee Registration Act 1960 to govern the activities of the museum. It is fully funded by the Government of India. Governor, U.P. Ex-officio is the chairman of the Allahabad Museum Committee.

Also Allahabad playing one of the major roles in Indian Independence movement is portrayed in the gallery with pictures, paintings, letters and many more antiques.

    Welcome to ALLAHABAD MUSEUM The Allahabad Museum is centrally located in the Civil Lines area of the city in a lush green garden at Chandrashekhar Azad Park, popularly known as Company Bagh. It is about 3 kms away from the Allahabad railway junction and almost equidistant from three different Railway Stations such as Prayag, Rambagh and Allahabad junction and about 12 km away from Bamrauli Airport. In 1863, the Board of Revenue requested the Government of North- Western Provinces for the establishment of a public library and a museum. With donations from the provincial government, the famous Orientalist Sir William Muir and the Maharaja of Vijaynagaram, a superintendent of the library and museum was appointed and an ornate building was inaugurated in 1878 to house the collection. For unforeseen reasons or due to paucity of fund the museum was closed down in 1881. With the initiative of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the President of the Allahabad Municipal Board and Pt. Brijmohan Vyas in the 1923-24 efforts were made to establish a new museum in the city. It was under the operational direction of Pandit Brij Mohan Vyas, the executive officer of the board, a museum was opened in the Municipal Building in 1931. Under the tutelage of Pandit Vyas, the museum acquired important collections, including ancient sculptures from Bharhut and Bhumra as well as the art collections of Abanindranath Tagore, Jamini Roy, Gaganendranath Tagore, Asit Kumar Haldar of the Bengal School Paintings also the collection of paintings of the European artists like Nicholas Roerich and Anagarik Govinda, a German monk whose collection enabled the museum to create galleries of modern art in the museum. In 1942, S.C. Kala the first curator gave the much needed impetus to enriching the collections of the museum, especially adding the Nehru Personalia Collection and as space became a constraint, it was decided that the museum should be shifted from the Municipal Board building to a new premises. The foundation stone of the present museum building was laid on 14th December 1947 by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and the museum was opened to the public in 1954 in the Chandra Sekhar Azad Park or the company bagh area. But the real turning point of the fate of the museum came in the year 1986 after realizing its significance of the diversity of its rich collections of archaeological artifacts, art treasures the museum was taken over by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India after constituting an autonomous body called Allahabad Museum Society, and declared it a museum of national importance under the Ministry of Culture Government of India. Presently the museum is under the financial control of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India and the ex-officio Chairman of the museum is the Governor of Uttar Pradesh. #JPS Dharma vishwas

    Before i begin i should give disclaimer that this review is only for those who are interested in art, architecture, museum, history etc or else u will curse me after visiting the place. I have visited it 2 yrs back and i am reviewing it today because i just looked the photos we took that day. They are really worth seeing. You can trace the history of indian railways, all important events, all type of models are present. Model looks reallly wonderful. The models of initial trains, i.e coal running etc are worthy enough to be looked. Apart from all those models and photos they do offer u their small train journey that is awesome. That could be great for kids. So overall u will get an awesome experience.

    The Allahabad Museum is a national-level museum in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Established in 1931, it is known for its rich collection and unique objects of art, and is funded by Ministry of Culture. Moreover, it is a premier research centre for archaeologists, historians and academicians and carries out extensive research activities and publications in archaeology, art and literature. Its rock art gallery has the largest collection of prehistoric paintings displayed in India dating from 14,000 B.C to 2000 B.C. The museum, using solar power system, has become the first museum in the country to become self-reliant in power generation. The Allahabad Museum is centrally located in the Civil Lines area of the city in a lush green garden at Chandrashekhar Azad Park, popularly known as Company Bagh. It is about 3 kms away from the Allahabad railway junction and almost equidistant from three different Railway Stations such as Prayag, Rambagh and Allahabad junction and about 12 km away from Bamrauli Airport.

    Walk through the serene Azad park to reach Prayagraj Museum.. although the honking of the traffic close by doesn't let you get away from 'in the city' feeling, it still is good. The museum charges 50 bucks which probably seems a bit much for just another small little museum in a park. But when you actually get there, you are in for a treat! There are many museums within the museum! Start with architectural excavations and admire the art that lived in 1st century AD! Come out and don't miss Shaheed Chandrasekhar Azad's pistol on the display. Then climb up for a painting exhibition, porcelain exhibition, weapon's display, nehru exhibition, stuffed animals and birds, letters and poems by famous poets and so much more! A must visit. It'll take you atleast 3 hours to check out everything in this museum so have that time on hand. Also, do not plan your trip on weekends - being in a park, it's jam packed and it's not good for anyone to add to the rush. Enjoy the museum.

    A place with great knowledge and a vast collection of rich heritage. Has been extremely well maintained and looked after. Being in Allahabad one must go to this museum and explore our rich history.

  • 5/5 PRASANT M. 2 years ago on Google
    The museum is full of artifacts, sculptures, paintings and remains of historic art and culture. Can find terracotta toys, tools and pots since Indus valley civilization and hand written letters and books of our great leaders. One section of the museum is full of different types of paintings by most of the famous painters of not only India but other countries too. Must visit place for students of Indian history and Indian Art and culture.

    The historical statues found during the excavation of old heritage monuments of Allahabad, Kaushambi, Khajuraho, etc are stored very beautifully. Most of the statues are damaged, we are very much disappointed by seeing this.

    Historical place.. Best place for those who have interest in history.. U can cover 20% of history syllabus if u read the details given beside the ancient structures.. From ancient to modern, u will get to know about art and culture of every period.. Spend minimum 5 hrs inside the museum u will definitely feel better and u will become more knowledgeable

    One of the best Museum i had ever seen, the museum houses multiple sections from History to Arts. Also, it houses the various galleries dedicating life of late PM Pandit Nehru , Mahatma Gandhi

    The name of the museum is wrongly labelled as Prayagraj Museum. It is actually Allahabad Museum and it must be corrected. The collection is very good by the museum name is absolutely wrong. Google Map must notify the authorities or terminate the location. In Indian Govt. gazettes also the name is Allahabad Museum. Google must verify such documents first and then should confirm the names on Google Map or else the information becomes misleading.
