If you want to know about our history then this is place is worth to visit. The entire meuseum is divided into the big halls and every hall contains details information about our history and that shown through the pictures. There is no entry fee for the museum.

Awesome place and must visit to know about our country, history, Marathas, Rajput's and lot of warriors, no artifact's but information in the form of paintings and writings. Great statue of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is there in the entrance. Although transport is bit difficult to get for place.

Thus was more beautiful place.. History was every one this written as with photos.

Live illustration of the entire life philosophy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has been presented. A source of inspiration for all people, especially for children. Must visit once in life.

I am genuinely speechless at the sight of this phenomenal museum that honors the greatest king in all of Indian History 🚩. Shivaji Maharaj is a symbol to all Hindus everywhere in the world, he is an icon amongst icons and too often thanks to the influences of the Indian National Congress, his contributions to Bharat are not always as respected as they should be. This is exactly why this amazing museum by Francois Gautier is so perfect and impactful for our culture, because the presentation and attention to details surrounding the exhibit are impeccable. You literally feel like you’re walking through the history of that era and can see the actions of the Mughals in full display. Shivaji Maharaj is our greatest hero and this is the greatest temple to honor him. As Shivaji Once Said “Never Bend Your Head, Always Hold It High!” We must take pride in our history like how this museum does so well! Jai Shivaji! Jai Maharashtra! Jai Namo! Jai Bharat! 🚩🚩🚩

Very peaceful place. Its showing Shivaji maharaj's history. You also get to know about India's history. A must visit for all lovers of nature and history. Really loved the description of our vedic purans.

I visited as I had read that it's established by French historian Francois Gautier but there was no mention of any such thing anywhere besides apart from chhatrapati shivaji maharaj there are many halls with information in tune with those contemporary times of history like maharana pratap,Aurangzeb , Portuguese ,tanaji malusare Though there are no actual historic things like a swords or structure s Still most prolific part is the pictures and paintings ☺️ It's an enormous collection ..Would take at least 2..3 hrs to see .. Place is quite deserted though ..Needs to improve on awareness of their existence and at a slightly off road location Still worth a visit once ..👍

Francois Gautier formed an organisation known as the Foundation for Advancement of Cultural Ties (FACT), which is also the founding organisation for the museum. The museum is a part of a large property and is divided into various sections. The sections showcase exhibits belonging to different dynasties, rulers or groups of individuals; a display on Aurangzeb, the life of Shivaji Maharaj, the Portuguese invasion of India, Ahilyabai’s life, Dara Shikoh’s journey, Maharana Pratap’s life, Aryan Invasion theory, Tibetan history, to name a few. The displays are in the form of paintings, miniature paintings, posters, banners, drawings, etc.

Must visit if you get a chance to know true indian history and plight of native hindus by mughal barbarians.Very calm surroundings,neat and beautiful.No tickets needed and very polite staff. U can take all the pictures u want.

If u love history 📖thn must visit place, history is described very well in Picturised form, timing is 9 to 6, everything is free of cost here...entry fee's, washroom, drinking water etc.

Amazing place

(Translated by Google) Francis Gautier, a journalist from France, has erected a memorial to Shivaji Raj at Lohgaon in Pune (on Wadgaon Shinde Road). Here he has tried to introduce Indian spirituality. He built this monument with the intention of introducing Indian culture and offered it to Mother India. We must visit this memorial and see the homage paid to Shivaji Raje and Indian culture by a foreigner.

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum-A wonderful place set in a serene location. The area is peaceful. Information is very useful. There are artificial ponds created through water harvesting. It's a beautiful place to spend a day.

BEST PLACE FOR TOURISTS WHO WANT TO GAIN SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HISTORY OF SAMBHAJI AND SHIVAJI MAHARAJ , ALSO THERE ARE SOME OTHER PAINTINGS AND STORIES OF SOME GREAT KINGS OF INDIA , BUT TRY TO VISIT THESE PLACE IN EARLY MORNING OR ELSE AFTER 3 TO 4 PM

Awesome...👍👍👍👍

This Museum is having miniature paintings depicting all the maratha history from 1630 AD to 1800 AD. Nice place clean and calm environment.

Interesting collection of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Memories, paintings, etc

Nice photos collection, less crowd but good place.

Must visit

Indian historical place

Very good place..every parent should take their kid here. Very informative place , but you need lot of time to read . Anyone who thinks that we should pass our history to kids this is the right place. 👍

Very pleasant place, refreshing place and greatly informative of our history of Great king chhatrapati shivaji maharaj.. And also of great kings born in india

Definitely A Nice Place To Visit..

Excellent

Important place to know more about Shree Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and our history. A must visit place.

Best place to visit .

You can visit here.

This is fantastic must visit place when you are in Pune. Since it is recently constructed with very low budget it is not like other museums but it is having all the quality of a museum, you may feel like it is not worth from the entrance unless you explore by going inside. Gives enough knowledge on Bharat and India. I request everyone to visit this place. This place deserves our visit

Great source of history and knowledge

Excellent museum of indian history specifically Chtrapatti shiavji maharaj.. Outstanding.. I will definitely come again & again.. Must visit spot in pune Good information with refrence date.

A must visit place in pune which tells our journey of Marathas from Shivaji Maharaj's point of view.

Very informative

Nice information

Poor content, poorly displayed. No artefacts, so real proof of any of the written material. New 'paintings' of supposed historical 'moments', but no provenance of why they are historically accurate. Displays are of poor quality flex not even mounted properly. Calligraphic flex boards are hard to read and calligraphh is not even historically attributed to India, so no idea why it is used. Not worth the drive

Excellent place & must visit with family to know about our Indian history, in form of paintings and writings. You would require 2-3Hrs to view all exibition halls. Plan accordingly.

Nice place

Good to visit with family and friends. School visit can give students more Info about our Heroes...

Very informative instead of watching Kashmir files must visit this place and read all the history within two hours.

Every Hindu (including Sikh, Bauddh, Jain & all who has their origin with Bhartiy), Every so called secular, libral, leftist should visit this place to update to the self for the actual history....

The collection of paintings and information is extraordinary! Hats off to Mr. FRANCOIS, his wife and team for their efforts! Very well Maintained place! Was worth it! Got lot of information! Thanks!

Starts with Great warrior Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's history continued with other great people who contribute to history of India. Best Place to find history documented in poster form. You would require minimum 2 - 3 hrs to go through.

Lot of info and pictures of manuscripts and history. Reliable and extensive information. Everyone should go and see and understand history which we not completely know.

Well documented exhibition on Indian history, there are 16 different time period of history on display, everyone should visit once.

Great information on history and great ambience, we'll maintained & peaceful place.

I’ve visited this place 2-3 times. This is Real History of Hinduism. Must visit at least once…! Suggestion : Audio/video recordings beside poster would be more effective instead of just posters (ref. Chinmay Mission at Kolvan, Paud).

Temple of Knowledge !! Ideal place if you want to know the True History of Bharat.. Approach by Mr. Francious Gauttier towards Indian civilisation is what most of us need to know and incorporate in our best limited capacity..

Excellent historical museum about Indian history specifically Maratha history and about sri chatrapati shivaji maharaj

Beautiful museum with good informative history of India and Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj💐🙏

Must visit places, very well maintained and good detailed information provided here.

Very good pais place, devoted people, true history of Indian kingdom.

It's history of Marathas

very good, calm place to know history which is not talked abt.

The museum showcases parts of Indian history which have remain largely hidden from the mainstream. A must visit place. Detailed reading of all artefacts can be time consuming, thus it is best to go with 2-3 hours on hand. Downside - Though the museum is well kept, mosquito menace is serious spoiler. Wearing full sleeve clothes or putting on a mosquito repellent cream is highly recommended.

Suggested for everyone

Nice and free of cost must visit to know about all the history.

Good place

⛳⛳⛳

Francois Gautier's Shivaji Maharaj museum and Indian History. A bit far off from Pune city but well worth a visit. Peaceful place, disturbing truths revealed regarding Hindu genocide over the centuries by Abrahamics which continues today too, Must visit place for educating oneself

good for historic knowlage

Lot things to know about motherland .

It's great to visit and see our history.

Awesome museum.... Please visit.....

The museum's layout and design were well thought out, with each section flowing seamlessly into the next. The lighting and ambiance added to the overall appeal, creating an immersive experience that transported visitors back in time. Additionally, the staff members were knowledgeable, approachable, and eager to answer any questions, enriching the overall experience. However, I would have appreciated more detailed descriptions and contextual information accompanying the exhibits. While the audio guides were helpful, additional textual information could have provided a deeper understanding of the historical significance of each artifact. Overall, the Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone eager to delve into the vibrant history of the Maratha Empire.

Too small, needs more fund to renovate and better marking to pull crowd here

A very peace and calming environment.so much to learn about Indian history and about shivaji maharaj life.one can also go for mental peace.

If you enjoy reading, this place is great. Lot's of history to read about and pictures to look at. The location is also ideal for pictures and relaxing in the afternoon or early evening.

Best place for history enthusiastic , very informative, will take some time to cover each & evey section.

Excellent place to visit. I feel schools must arrange visits so that all students will learn history very well. Detailed exhibition nice paintings. Ample car parking (not inside) but on road available. You must carry Tiffins, no food available at the site.

All Bhartiya should visit and support this initiative. Tones of fact base information.

Good place

Historic place. Learning for childrens to adults education.. Silent place...

Pls one time visit such a nice place

It's a place to know more about the Maratha history. The great thing about this place is that it has original hand written letters of Maratha kings and Britishers. It's located inside the Deccan college campus.

Nice archeological place.

Best museum for archaeological history!

Great place for scholarly history orientation

Limited Antique Maratha History musuem they have old rifles and swords

Proud things that a Frenc man has created this Museum as a gift to India. Must visit museum. Not vary famous yet, but well managed. At serene location. All the history of India is been potrayed. Must take your children for a visit

Nice and knowledgeable place

Not much to see, after the grandeur of the Tanjore temple this kind of fell flat for us

(Original) Best place....Museum established by a foreigner for Indian History and Shivaji Maharaj!!! Great Work!! नक्की जाऊन या,खूप मेहनत घेतली आहे...

Good to spend quality time

Ok

Fake history museum, mixing right wing assertions which are nowhere backed by actual historical research.

Good collection, but not well maintained. Also ticketing should be near the museum..Here it's half km away

Pro - decently maintained and spacious Cons - full of jarring hatred towards Muslims, mughals and Pakistan. It only has pictures and boards, no artefacts or models

A must visit if you are on a short trip to the region.. Amazingly captures the history of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. There are a ton of exhibitions to watch and read carefully covering a range of Indian history.. It is maintained well given there isn't and entry fee. Should be developed into a great place for school kids to visit.

A great service to india. Must visit place for kids and youth

A must visit place for all Indians........ should know our actual history....... excellent collection.....

A must visit for everyone.. absolutely amazing pavilions and never-seen-before exhibits. The real truthful history presented to Indians by another amazing Indian - Mr Gautier. We thank you for your efforts !!!!!

This museum has lots of historical recreational pictures, nothing else. Location is best but you will be disappointed to see only pictures that too drawn by modern artists and few photographs.

It was a wonderful experience knowing the real history Thanks for painstakingly collecting these details and displaying. Only suggestion is the calligraphy needs to change and needs to be more usee friendly in bold font so the viewer could read easily before moving to the next one Also please keep some UPI scan display for ppl to donate on the spot
