About
Quick facts: The main building houses an impressive collection of over 19,000 artifacts including ancient sculptures, paintings, and carpets. You can spot influences from both Indo-Saracenic and Islamic architectural styles in the intricate facade and interiors.
Highlights: A massive central hall features a stained-glass skylight that floods the space with natural colors by day. The museum's collection includes a rare Egyptian mummy that surprises many visitors.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes due to extensive walking inside the large museum halls.
- Carry a camera but check restrictions on flash photography near delicate artifacts.
- Visit early to catch the skylight illumination during sunlight hours.
- Skip the ground floor souvenir shop if short on time; it’s better to spend time with exhibits upstairs.
