📍Ghole Road, Shivaji Nagar... I liked the place there are so many things worth watching... Just 10 Rs entry fee.... I personally liked the (artificial🤪) animal section and the place where the guns, swords and similar things are displayed ⚔️ I personally feel that display of some unnecessary things spoil the beauty of the authentic things that are at display Maintenance is needed and lighting should be upgraded I would recommend u to visit the place because there are some awesome antique things 😍😍😍

You can identify by color of paper .. it’s old but old is gold. 8 good information on articles or items made by coconut, elephant trunks, sandalwood, paper material 9 having facilities like rest rooms (toilets) Lastly worth to visit . Check pictures.

Mahatma phule museum is located near Deccan. We didn't know about this place untill we discovered it. Me m my friends went to Chatushrungi Devi temple and after spending some time we had some free time so searched 'places to visit near me' and we got this place. I'm very thankful because almost 2 hours we spent in this museum. It has 10 rs. ticket to visit this museum. We found so many sculptures and paintings and art pieces which were hand made by using cloth, glass, clay, wood, cotton and metals like bronze, silver and copper. Here we can see different rock samples collected from different states of all over India. There are many preserved samples of different types of birds, snakes, animals, bees and fishes and everything. There's status of lion and leopard are so real. Also mini projects like underwater pipe lines, sugar cane factory, ground nut oil factory, solar projects n many more. we can visit which were prepared with small-small details, they are so informative. I'm so impressed by this museum. I will definitely visit this again and would suggest to my other friends as well.

There are multiple things to see and learn from our history in this museum. From early technologies to our history to Biodiversity and minerals. This museum is a good visit.

Good Museum don't expect much from here, some of the animals bore insects 🪲 lion African lion fishes birds are preserved here. 10Rs ticket for entrance

It's a medium sized museum hosting a lot of old artifacts like weapons, engines. It also has displays of craft items, stuffed animals, fossils, paintings, scientific charts explaining various physics, chemistry and biology concepts. Depending upon your level of interest it could take around 1 to 2 hours to check out the entire collection. There is an entry ticket of 10Rs. The premises are very peaceful. Worth visiting if you are in the area.

Mahatma Phule Museum, Pune 😀 Located in Ghole Road, Shivaji nagar, Open 9.30 am to 5pm all days, Entry ticket 10rs per head. Big campus and building, nothing special inside, some as usual artifacts. You may need 15-20 minutes to visit this museum. 1km from Pataleswar caves and 1km from Omkareswar temple. If you are going that side it will be a good idea to visit this place.

Trust me there are many information bits which is ignored to extent. Ideally museum should open by 9 but till 11:14 there was no light lit. As usual, people are least bothered to maintain it. (No platform given and same can be witnessed in one of the photo attested) Dusting, arrangements, and security was zero yet floor was mopped and found clean!! Surprisingly, there was no one to issue the ticket hence I had an opportunity to stroll around for free. There appears to be an academy for students therefore students are all around. I'm sure taking photos were prohibited but I had to take to highlight it and May impact some or the other way.

The museum is very beautiful. There is a lot of peace and no crowd here. We visited this place on weekend 3 years ago. It has a collection of old items including many old weapons and carvings. There are old maps. You have to buy a ticket as an entry fee. The ticket cost is less than 50 rupees per person.

Perhaps the worst museum ever! I can't believe I paid 10 bucks to enter this place which isn't worth visiting even for free! The so called 'museum' is a joke. It consists basically of collections of random items classified under headings. Some of the items had price tags on them. Yes, you read that right! One whole room of stuff is basically the discarded material from a school science lab - models of organs, posters etc. Seriously, even the staff don't take this place seriously. The ambience is poorly kept and not very well lit. The section on taxidermist animals and birds is nice and so is the collection of weapons and paintings. Unfortunately some of the paintings are hidden behind cupboards. 🤦 I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

We thought its Museum related to Mahatma Phule.. but its not... this is regular museum with random things in it.. nothing related to Mahatma Phule.. Entry charge is 10/-. Need lots of maintenance. Atleast replace bulb in display counters.. Totally ignored place.. can be better if maintained properly..

Wonderful museum must visit once. Entry fee is only 10 rs It takes only 30-40 min to see it. Must visit once.

Small museum located in heart of city. Easy to find, with couple of additional places to visit nearby, this could be helpful for parents for a day's out. The museum is considerably old and with little government funding and no additional point of attraction added since the time of freedom, one can expect little as compared to scientific museums next generation kids would prefer to visit. But if you want appreciate the old timer creativity, drop by any time.

It’s a good place having informative exhibits. People willing to learn history should visit this place . It has got ample parking space so do not park on road outside it.

I will say Old is GOLD. A lot of tools and weapons are there. You can see which periods they belong to. An educational tour for any child.

Very old museum. Opens at 9 am - 5 pm Daily entry fees only 10/- Rs per head. Takes only 30-45 min to look entire museum.

Lots and lots of information to be read, seen and taken in. All information from Stone Age History to Historical war weapons upto Modern world Gizmos seen here. Amazing stuffed animal's and bird's display. All information on Human body, coconut tree products, Plastic, Silk, cotton, metals, geodites, hydro power project, to what not.... OMG! Took me more than 2 hours to read them all. Finally I was taken aback by 18-20 feet Crocodile skin display, which was my favourite.

Nice musuem. Can be maintained well. Currently looked after by government. Contains artifacts and fossils from old generation. Nominal entry fees of Rs.10 only per person. Should be a little more organized.

It’s hidden treasure of science museum. It’s very old museum established may be 50 years ago. It takes 2 hrs to cover all the sections. At entry there is 20 x 6 feet real skin of crocodile from 18th century. Highly recommended for kids. All the animals are having real skin. Entry ticket 10 rs. Ample of free parking for car as well as bike. Near to museum, there is Pune’s all time famous SANTOSH BAKERY. One can enjoy hot veg pattice and mind blowing coconut cake.

I'm nowadays busy with office 🏢 stuff so will apologize for it. 🙂 Here's the next review after the longer time duration. 😬 My friend 👫 recommended this place📍which is a Museum 🖼️ by the name 'Mahatma Phule'.📍😁 This museum has a collection of various things such as artifact's 🎨 like ancient weapons,🔫 engines, 🚂 leathers, statues,🗿skulls 💀 of animals, 🐅 birds 🐦and many more. It is a perfectly well-maintained museum. 😄 Also they have displayed miniature projects 😍 like underwater pipe lines, sugarcane factory, 🏭 ground nut oil factory, solar projects, 🔆 etc. Also you need to pay the entry fee of Rs. 10 💸 here. This place📍is quite amazing 🤩 but very few people visit it, I will highly recommend 😁 everyone to visit this place.📍

One of the most underrated museum in the city. The entry ticket is just 10 rupees. With great old monuments like animals, insects, historical monuments and a wide range of old weapons and paintings.

Amazing Place to Visit with various antique and cultural artifacts

Good one.parents should take their children for here to make them understand old things

Historical museum situated in Pune...

The Mahatma Phule Vastu Sangrahalaya was first established in 1890 as the Poona Industrial Museum. Later, it was renamed to Lord Reay Museum, before being called Mahatma Phule Museum in 1968. Though Mahatma Jyotiba Phule was a great Indian social reformer who worked extensively for the anti-caste movement and women's emancipation, the museum does not have anything to do with him. It displays models, charts, pictures, machines, and taxidermy of various wildlife species. It broadly covers the disciplines of forestry, agriculture, natural history, armoury, handicraft, geology, engineering, industries, and architecture in Indian history. While the armoury belongs to the Mughal and Maratha periods, the taxidermy section covers a vast expanse of evolution in Indian species of animals, reptiles, and birds. Several hydro-electric and irrigation projects, in addition to models of architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal, have also been displayed. The museum has a library, though it is not accessible to the public. If you're a museum lover and history aficionado like me, this is the place I would highly recommend you visit and recall history classes. Mahatma Phule Museum is a treat to see all the Statues, paintings, jewelry, architecture, and many more things from different eras in our nation which is so culturally rich and has centuries of history. The museum is well-maintained, has ample parking space and good security. Photography inside the museum premises is not allowed, however, I was given prior permission from the PMC authorities. The Entry Fees is 10 rupees per person and the Visiting Hours are from 09:00 a.m. - 05:00 p.m. The museum is closed on Wednesdays and Public holidays. To sum up, I would highly recommend visiting this gorgeous museum in the heart of Pune. The works of art are definitely a must-see and I’m sure it is worth a visit especially for children, who can have fun by learning about the history of India.

This is a small museum which is located on ground floor, nothing really historical or any unique item present in this museum, if you have visited museum around the globe you will disappointed with the state of building and items on display. Although Pune was the capital of Maratha Empire and has produced leaders like Phules, Tilaks etc but there isn't a single museum in city which shows this rich history. Request PMC to convert this museum into world class museum as Pune is Oxford of East and lot of foreign students visit our city and also we have many IT companies and alot of foreign client visit Pune and we need to show our legacy to the world.

Nice building.. But there should be proper cleaning of objects and specimens, they are covered with dust.. Certain good things are here but if did not meet the expectations of a museum.. Only last 2-4 sections are good and interesting including Ancient weapons and animals.

Its good place for kids for information of our animals, birds, old haldlums and etc.

Very nice

Historical place... Expected that i can see more things about Mahatma Phule...but there are very few related to them...but overall nice place..there are many things to see... Awesome place

So had been to this place on 23rd Feb 2020, it really hasn’t got anything special to boast about and is very basic and is deteriorating. Only go to this place if you have kids along with you as it might be a good experience for them and the entry charge is 10 rupees. It has ample parking space so no worries there.

Great experience.Yesterday i visited this place and was amazed. Lots and ampel amount of old customs and culture is highlighted. Many old articles,idols,paintings,agricultural equipement, and many more. Must visut

Great museum with, ancient items and paintings. Will get to know about pune culture.

Lots of historical things are kept in this musium. There is a 3d structure of Taj Mahal and gate of India. Having clean bathroom facility.

Items kept to display are historic, and some are modern too, the collection of historical weapons is something interesting to watch.

It is now ce place to visit. It has historical information as well as information of traditionak art and cukture

Great. Nic place to pass time.

Artifacts were covered in dust. Looks like the maintenance is not a priority at all. Could be better managed.. Go to Kelkar museum in Pune instead.

Don't waste your time by going there, cz it's closed. No one had any information, when is going to open. No one is even bothered to update this on website/Google etc.

The museum has good collection for novice visitors, it is worth to spend hour or two, The Engineering section along with Natural History, Ivory Artefacts, Specimen of different types of rocks, coconut art, are worth mentioning, The museum needs to be upgraded,

Very less number of exhibits and the maintenance is also not up to the mark. There is no working models present. There is an entry fee of Rs. 10 for adults. They won't permit photography also.

It was a nice experience. We didn't get a guide though. Our group was around 30 people and there was enough space for everyone!! It is a must experience for aesthetic purposes!

Cooperative staff. Rs 10 for adults, only cash. Nice collection worth seeing and good place to hang out.

Barely a museum. Almost feels like someone bought things from the market, catalogued it and kept it here

Very good collection of ancient things, sculptures, stones, woods carving, some old mechanical stuffs, history of Maharashtra, Preserved birds and some models of animals, overall good experience to watch antique pieces of our indian history.....🤠

This Museum consists of variety of collections like pictures, charts, models and machines and science models. The armoury has weapons of the Mughal and Marathaperiod.It also have one section in which various species of animals, birds, insects, snakes and fishes are preserved.

A hidden gem in Pune. You are welcomed by huge crocodile skin at the entrance after you get the ticket at rs 10. Takes around 45-60 mins to cover the lobby and other rooms of the artefacts. Room dedicated to animals is the best.

Good maintain, ones everyone should visit

Located on the main road easily accessible in the corner. Parking space is aplenty. Museum has wide variety of collections but limited exhibits under each category. Most of the artifacts are from pre independence era. Maintenance is not proper. Less footfall even during the weekends. They have models and portraits related to Pune region showcasing the area's development post independence. Entrance will have a huge crocodile skin extracted in 1870. Needs improvement.

Superb museum to visit, 10 rupee entry fees. Knowledge peovide for children as well as almost to all people. Great place to visit. Car parking is available.

Founded in the year 1890, Mahatma Phule Museum is one of the must-visit Pune tourist attractions for history buffs. Earlier established as Lord Ray Museum, the museum was renamed as Mahatma Phule Museum in the year 1968. The museum makes for an interesting trip as one can see various collections of industrial products, agricultural items and handicraft pieces in this museum.

Museum was amazing there are so many things kept before times..

Nice place in pune..Must visit

Nothing to see inside. For childrens it is good.

Good collection

Good collection of art, craft, weapon, machinery etc.. specially i like the stuffed lion couple, leapord and other animal's and birds very precise work done but museum need more care and renovation. Good parking space, washroom available, 10Rs entry fees.

This is a great place to visit and there are variety of things you cam see and get information like handicraft and science nd technology and art and animals and maharashtra art and culture too. Many thing here that camnot be describe in words. But awesome place to visit. 😄

* for variety of rare collections ** for the hanging crocodile skin at the entrance *** for helpful staffs and affordable ticket price for the adults **** for not filled or overfilled with people or things

Nice Museum

In 1968 it was renamed as Mahatma Phule MuseumTOI news story quotes the present administrator of the museum Rajeev Vilekar thus: "Gharpure was curator at the museum from 1930-1954. His contributions to the museum have been immense... one of the halls here has his name in his honour".[2] A Toledo Blade news story reports the visit to Toledo in March 1948, of B.V. Gharpure, curator of what it calls "Lord Reay Maharashtra Industrial Museum, Bombay". The story quotes Gharpure stating that the purpose of the museum is "teaching an unschooled population in modern methods of agriculture, engineering and science". It reports that the Gharpure was on a year-long international tour that would also take him to Russia and Germany.

Titles should be mentioned for kept things.
