    Price is very affordable, 300inr per person. However, if someone would have put even little effort, this could be an amazing museum. It holds an abundance of old, older items and even myriad of stuffed animals. But signs are very poor, staff speaks only hindi , and the place is far of being maintained...

    Its an Government museum by municipal committee. (Sangrahalay Nagar Nigam ). It has lot of collections related to laxmi bai. There are lot many preserved animals & birds. Preserved skins of animals as well. Overall worth watching it. Guide is available without any charge. Entery ticket charges are Rs 20 only for an adult. for Kids 5-10 Years its Rs 5 only.

    The guide did a good job explaining every detail. However they told that they are not kept as permanent employee here even after serving for multiple years. So even after buying the entry tickets, if you like their presentation, kindly do offer them some money. It would be helpful. No photos allowed inside.

  • 4/5 Giridhar S. 2 years ago on Google • 25 reviews
    This can be one of the best museum of our country. Trust me, I have been to many museums around India but this one has very unique collection. Sad part, it is in very bad and ignored shape. Fans were not working, lighting was not proper. This could have been made as a world class museum but Sad state of Gwalior authority that they are living under the stone. Thanks to my guide there, Premlata Pal who helped me explore the museum. Collection 9/10 Maintenance 8/10 Ambiance and lighting 3/10

    Content rich, great experience! And can't forget to mention excellent free guide service (but it's good practice to leave some tip ;) )

    Such as beautiful and nice Nagarnigam Gwalior museum.

  • 4/5 Ravi S. 3 years ago on Google
    I found there many historical things and about them , because till the day I only read about in only books but when I visited such a place I know which kinds of weapons and other things used in past and ancients India .

  • 4/5 Anoop T. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the fantastic but ignored places. It is much more rich (in content) museum after Jai Vilas. The tourists MUST be brought here by Guides. It has all kind of things stored from coins to animals, from ammunition to armours, from pagdi to saree (originally used by the Royal Families and by the people of British Time) The entry fee for Indian Citizen is Rs 20, but it is worth every penny. Had it been a private property, the ticket charges would've gone to Rs 500.. even at that situation you will find the prices to be low... I MEAN IT HAS GOT RICH CONTENT. The guides are FREE (Amazingly) and they do a better job than the paid guides. Thanks to Nagar Nigam Gwalior. Now the Nagar Nigam should advertise it and push a hard sales. Gwalior is the only city in India which has got 5 Universities (dedicated to 5 sectors) and top schools. They students should be brought here at the museum and the college and Universities should put subject related projects on this. All in all, it is a best place to spend your time with your kids on a lazy Sunday! Giving 4 stars for the ignorance by govt.
