    Amazing art work... An artist to remember and appreciated always. Must visit when you are in or near Mandwa.Its a 20 mins drive from mandwa jetty. Entry fee is just 10/- per person and additional 10/- will be charged if you have a camera or phone to click pictures. We don't even get Vada pav now a days in 10/- and here we get to see these amazing sculptures.

    Ticket Rs 10. A small hall with approx 50 statues made very beautifully. 30 mins are enough to see. No dedicated parking but roadside parking is easy.

    Its a small museum with collection of sculptures done by Mr Karmarkar and showcased in their ancestral home. Good place to visit for art lovers. Entry fee is 10/pax and additional 10 for camera. Not usually crowded also no specific parking available and have to park your vehicle on the road just outside museum. Overall good place👍

    Beautiful sculptures. All sculptures are well maintained.. information related to the sculpture is written over there. Must go with kids & family.. sculptures are well organized. Cleanliness is maintained. Go there with private vehicle so that there will be no need to wait for auto. Otherwise it takes time to go to the main road by walking. Roads are bit confusing but people over there are helpful.

    This museum is very good for sculptures. There is located near Sasawane Beach. Dog, lady, cat , toddler, baby many sculptures are done by Mr Karmarkar. Now it is run by grand children of Mr Karmarkar. Small entry fee but it's worth of it. The house is also very good kept in very good condition. There are some sculptures outside which are free to see. You need to pay if you want to enter inside the house. For photography you need to pay nominal amount.

    Beautiful place and it’s super peaceful, Will recommend you to go here and have a look at the most beautiful sculptures made by Mr. Karmarkar! Most beautiful part of the sculptures are the details and eyes, the look so accurate! Great place to visit! People who admire art would absolutely love it! The ticket is just 10 rs per person which really great!

    Amazing place to visit. I have been a local and used to travel by the place. But never got a chance to actually visit it until my college friends came to for a visit. It was surreal experience for sure. Being from Architecture these sculpture are lively and emotions are clearly dipicted on them. The matsyakanya was one of the best sculptures. If you are in alibag it's a must visit place.

    Visiting Alibag is not just about the beaches. It is about art and the people who sculpted it also. Must visit place. Their family still lives there and is doing a good work by maintaining works of Mr. Karmarkar by only taking a fee of ₹10 from per visitors.

  • 5/5 rohan d. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to visit. Heaven for karmarkar's sculpture lovers. Because of Less crowded area you have very much time to see each and every finishing work of sculpture properly. They just charge nominal entry fees which is RS 5/- only. In 5mins of distance there is saswane beach. So you can spend your quality time at saswane beach by enjoying sunset view. Those who are gonna visit Alibaug and are sculpture lovers they must visit this place.

    This was a very quaint little gallery made in an old bungalow. You could see that it's mainly visited by the local Marathi tourists since the labels were all in marathi. However, it was amazing to witness the sculptures by a renowned Indian artist. I got some amazing pictures in the garden among the life like pieces.
