Salar Jung Museum

About this place

One of India’s major art-and-antiquities museums, known for a vast, global collection—sculpture, textiles, manuscripts, clocks, metalwork, paintings, and decorative arts. It’s a must for travelers who want more than monuments: the galleries give a “world tour” of styles and eras in one building.

History & highlights

The museum grew from the private collection of Salar Jung III and was inaugurated to the public in 1951 after his death, becoming a nationally significant institution. Over decades it evolved from a family collection into a Government of India–recognized national museum.
