The area doesn't look huge. It's located in a narrow lane where parking is an issue. But forget all that. Once you step inside you'll discover a whole world of amazing idols, historic objects, ancient paintings, musical instruments and much much more. It closes at 5.30 pm and the ticket is Rs 100/- for adults. We reached around 4.00 pm and had one hour time with us. We thought we'll easily see it all, but by 5.00 pm we realised we had to rush through the last 3 sections and needed 30 more minutes to fully see and appreciate the amazing collection by Raja Dinkar Kelkar. A must visit!

Boasting of spectacular architecture, the Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum is one of the things to see in Pune if you want to delve into Indian history and explore the fine artefact collections from decades and centuries ago.

These collections include the original interiors and furnishing from the Mastani Mahal, ancient warfare like darts, swords, spears and shields that were used in actual battles, a textile zone which showcases the fashion and styles worn by the royalty of the 15th century and there is still much more that you can discover with a full-day tour here.

Great places to observe historic items. Has contents in all shapes and sizes, from small earrings to big door and chariot. The entry fee is rupees 100 per person and there seems to be some concession for senior citizens in it. If you are going to take photos, need to pay Rs. 100 extra for it. Has over 3 floors, with resting benches and water filter availability. Place is also we'll maintained so it is lit properly. It takes easily around 3 hours to go through all the items and closes at 5:30, so plan accordingly. Parking is very limited and only for two wheelers and entrance is via a small and congested lane. Would definitely recommend visiting this place to take a trip through various history.

Really need to understand our traditions and this place is definitely makes it happen. However, ticket prices (100rs) are on higher side and on top for mobile photography 100rs extra is too much. But they are maintaining well and deserve at least for ticket prices. It has 3 floors to explore and has reasonable ventilation with washroom facility. One of the place in Pune which is not to be missed.

Raja Dinkar Museum is an amazing place to visit while you are in Pune. It gives a detailed information about the heritage, culture, music about the city and state of Maharashtra. We visited on a Saturday afternoon. Parking space is not available. Be careful while you park the vehicle in any of the nearby place. Entry ticket Price is Rs 100/ adult. Rs 100/camera to use the mobile phone or camera. Ticket Price are very affordable and justified once you have a look around the well maintained premises.

It's a very well-curated museum. There's no air conditioning. No parking as well. Ticket for Indians is Rs.100 pp. No phone recording or photography allowed. The museum is almost empty at any time of the day. More than a museum it's just a building with artifacts. There is no specific activity for visitors or guided tours or pamphlets. This museum needs to hire a curator to make it mindful.

Nice museum. It's well maintained. The museum has 3 floors. You can see all things such as old utensils, clothes, artifacts, ornaments, decorative doors, windows, war equipments etc during the Maratha and Peshwa era. The ticket price is Rs. 100 for adults and Ra. 30 for children. They take an additional Rs. 100 charges for photography. We like the museum.

One of the most engaging museums in Maharashtra. No photography is allowed without a pass. Highly recommend you to take the photography pass if you want to keep memories. Good collection of weapons, utensils, clothing that showcase the Maharashtrian heritage. Best place I visited in Pune!!

Nice museum at pune. Try to visit this museum it will take 1 hour to see all museum. Many old artifacts are available that will give us an idea how our history was. Many sections are available in museum like pots, shields, sword, clothes, musical instruments even, many other types of artifacts are available. Must visit one time with your family you will in history sometime and will go back in time. Following all the covid rules here.

It was good experience with Kelkar Museum. You can explore our ancient and mediaeval past here. But the museum is too much costly after covid it's almost doubled from last year such as before covid entry fees was 40 rupees but not it's 100 which is seriously too much. Plus if you want to click the photos then also you have to pay 100 rupees per individual/ camera/phone, which is seriously not a cost benefit ratio.

It is an old house converted to a museum. It consists of 3 floors and 2 wings, with each floor displaying on a unique theme. It is funded by Infosys, RD trust, federation of Germany etc. A very well curated museum, need a good 2 hours to see it at a decent pace. There is an entry fee of Rs.100 per Indian adult and a Rs.100 fee for camera/mobile. If you're looking for an offbeat place to explore on a random day in Pune, it is a recommendation.

Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum is the best collection of medieval artefacts mostly from Maharashtra & Gujarat. Entry 🎟 Ticket fee 100 Rs for Indian and for Photography we are paying 100 Rs Extra. Thank you🙏

It was amazing place!! Lots of artistic ,ancient traditional things we saw. Beautiful paintings , sculptures, musical instruments , utensils, clothes, scent bottles ,ornaments etc are so well preserved . The Carved doors and furniture were really fascinating mastani Mahal was really beautiful place.worth vising !!!

It is worth the ticket price. If you have the slightest interest in history and culture. It shows how skilled our ancestors were and how much varieties and uniqueness we had in our day to day use items. From a betel box to cutting knives to locks and spoons. Compared to the varities in shapes, sizes and complexities of various items, our present lives seem primitive and mundane. The level of skills on brass and wooden works mesmerised me. I don't believe our present day craftsmen can match these.

I have seen the items which was used in 18th & 19th century. Appreciated for Alignment of the items is such a way that it can easily see for everyone. My suggestion is for ticket rates are too high for person as well as for photo mobile. If charge nominal rates, then it will be beneficial for everyone to see the museum. I would recommend to see the museum and learn the things that our previous generation was used.

Museum can take up to hour and half to visit all floors. Entry ticket for 2 adult and kid cost 230 rupees..and additional 100 rupee if you want to take pics..

Ticket Price ₹100 /pax ₹30 for kids Timings: 10am - 5.30 pm (all days) Finding vehicle parking is a big task here so better come by local transportation.

It’s worth visiting this museum. Take your time and explore each floor. It has 3 floors with daily use items from 18th to 20th century.

Lovely place to visit and spend 1-2 hour, 100 rs for tickets for per person and 100 rs charges for click photo in this Museum but it's 100℅ value for money. There are 4 section Family visit place

Visiting this museum with my kids was an incredible experience! The collection here is simply breathtaking - a one-man collection of around 22,000 priceless artifacts beautifully curated into various sections. Each section tells a unique story, from the captivating Objects of Beauty and Culture to the intricately detailed Utensils Gallery. The Textile Gallery was a treat for the eyes, showcasing the rich history and craftsmanship behind every piece. The special exhibition area was equally impressive, adding a dynamic touch to the overall experience. The diverse galleries, including the lamps, musical instruments, and ivory displays, offered a fascinating glimpse into different cultures and eras. And the famous Mastani Mahal was a highlight, exuding historical charm and allure. My kids absolutely loved exploring the museum - it was both educational and enthralling for them. The sheer variety of artifacts and the attention to detail in their presentation make this museum a must-visit for anyone interested in history, culture, and art. Kudos to the curator for preserving and presenting such a remarkable collection Allow yourself around 1.5 to 2 hours to fully appreciate and explore all the sections of this museum. Take the time to read the details of the artifacts and observe them at your own pace without rushing, this adds immense value to the experience. It's well worth immersing oneself in the history and craftsmanship behind each exhibit rather than simply glancing through

I visited this place. It was nice. Ticket cost was 80 Rs and if you want to click pictures, it's cost was 100 Rs. Small Children can get more knowledge through this visit.

Good place to bring kids and show them about our history and lifestyle of earlier generation people . This place is very well managed and clear. Information about all the item displaced is well informed

The museum is a nice place to see the artefacts of different centuries. A tour here is good to know and learn about ancient culture and tradition from different parts of the country

A place worth visiting. This was my first visit to a museum in recent years and this museum surely didn't disappoint. Spanning over 3 floors, it has an amazing collection, predominantly from the 18th century onwards. Do check it out on a lazy afternoon and you won't be disappointed.

If you're in Pune, I highly recommend making a trip to this museum. The entrance fee is only 100 INR per person, making it a budget-friendly and enriching experience.

Must visit place for kids The museum's story goes beyond its official opening in 1962. Raja Dinkar Kelkar, known for his deep appreciation of India's heritage, spent decades assembling a private collection that formed the nucleus of the museum. His journeys took him to remote corners of the country, fostering a personal connection with each artifact. What remains largely undisclosed is the collaborative effort involving the Kelkar family to curate and organize this extensive collection. Raja Dinkar Kelkar's passion extended to preservation techniques, with unpublished documents suggesting that he experimented with innovative methods to protect the artifacts from environmental degradation. His dedication went beyond being a mere collector; he envisioned the museum as a dynamic space for cultural education. Today, the Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum stands as a tribute to the Kelkar family's enduring commitment to India's cultural heritage. This untold history unveils the familial roots, meticulous curation, and preservation efforts that shaped this iconic institution into a living repository of the nation's diverse legacy.

Absolutely fantastic. One of the most engaging museums Iv ever seen. I’m based in London and have visited several museums in UK and rest of Europe but Kelkar Museum kept me very engaged and interested. The only cleanest museum in India where it felt the care about maintenance. Super impressed.

It was really beautiful and completely worth visiting at least once. I'd suggest you get the permission to click photos because you won't be able to resist as you explore further. It's very decorative and stunning. The creativity and their love for designing every material is jaw dropping.

If People like to see old traditional preserved things of all kinds, they must visit here. It takes atleast 2hrs to cover all floors where collection of old things are kept in good condition. Drinking water and washroom facility are there. Museum timing is 10AM to 6 PM but entry is allowed till 5:30pm only. Ticket charge per person is ₹80/-. If anyone need to click pics, it's chargeable.

All the historical artifacts were mesmerizing to look at! Because of the museum,we could get a quick perspective of lives of people in the ancient times.There were ancient utensils,clothes,weapons,the furniture used by the kings,queens as well as the locality. We could explore the beauty of Mastani Mahal. It's a good place for a Sunday outing☺❤.You will have to pay for a pass which will allow you to click photos-100₹ And per person fee-100₹.

The museum is good for people interested in arts. I visited it thrice. The public transport for the place is not so good. I had to walk all the way to the museum and return the same way. It has 3 floors with lift and every floor is worth watching. The entry fee is ₹100/head.

Excellent place to visit especially if you are with your, children and want them to show the art and craft of the country's culture across India. I was here with my daughters, and they too enjoyed watching and exploring the details of our indian culture. Watching the entire museum was exciting and I would like to specially mention the restoration of the Mastani Mahal, which was incredible.

Brilliant collection and arrangement. The daily use items, fabrics, wooden jharokhas and musical instruments were a delight to witness and learn about. The tuck shop currently has a set of 10 different quintessential Puneri places in form paintings as postcards. It made a great gift.

It's nice place to go, at least one, but the staff is not friendly they think it takes only half a hour to see everything but it takes 3-4 hour if your reading it and watching it properly..
