 Entrance to Salar Jung
Museum by Donna_in_India
The Indian art collection was fascinating. Beautiful sculptures of marble, ivory, wood, etc. Some of the collection dated back as early as the 1st century. Paintings, pottery, arms and armour were also on display. The Middle East, Far East, and the West are also represented in the museum.
There's also a Founder's Gallery that recreates the lives of the Salar Jungs.
It is a very large museum and I believe it is the best museum I have come across in India. We were originally going to skip it, but I'm so glad we didn't.
No photography is allowed inside (there are lockers outside). The museum is open 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. It is closed on Fridays and certain public holidays. Admission is Rs 15 for Indians and Rs 150 for foreigners. Leave a Comment Address: Jubliee Post, Afzal GunjPhone: 91 040 24523211Directions: Situated on the southern bank of the river Musi.

Hyderabad has some great museum and this is most evident in the Salar Jung Museum. The museum has a huge collection and its exhibits are from all over the world. Some of the relics date back to the 1st century and the collection includes sculptures, woodcarvings and Persian paintings, manuscripts as well as weapons and thousands of books. It ended up being a fantastic afternoon and I highly recommend it :) Leave a Comment Address: Salar Jung MargDirections: Bus no 7 from Abids area to the stop near Musi River bridge
