Sardar Government Museum - Jodhpur

Not many historical artifacts though but a well curated museum none the less. The area around it is horrible. Its a garden full of beggars ,drunkards and homeless people and what not won't recommend it to families , women (for obvious reasons) unless the museum authorities take some decisive action.

One of the popular gardens of Jodhpur is the Jodhpur Umed garden. It is spread on an area of 82 acres. The famous Umed garden of Jodhpur, Rajasthan was developed by Maharaja Umed Singh. It is named after him only. The garden has five separate gates around it to facilitate entry to the garden from differns.
At a distance of 1.5 km from Jodhpur Junction and 4 km from Mehrangarh Fort, Umaid Garden or Umed Garden is a public garden situated in the heart of Jodhpur city. It is one of the popular gardens of Jodhpur and also one of the top places to visit in Jodhpur.

Spread over an area of 82 acres, the famous Umaid Garden was developed by Maharaja Umed Singh and is named after him only. The garden has five separate gates around it to facilitate entry to the garden from different directions. It has lush green lawns with beautiful roses and other seasoned flowers. A walk in the lush environs is refreshing and rejuvenates mind and body. There is also a museum, artistically designed fountains, a library and a zoo inside the garden.

Viceroy Willington of the British Raj had inaugurated the zoo. The zoo is home to tigers, lion, zebra, ostrich and an emu. Monkeys are also seen swinging from trees. A 'Walk-in Aviary' in the zoo was constructed on the garden in 1978. The aviary houses different types of birds, local, ducks, African and Australian parrots. All species of wildlife are kept in the natural habitats. A bear sanctuary is also housed here.

It was our second day in jodhpur and visited this extraordinary museum in JODHPUR... In detail architecture mentioned at this place about Jodhpur's culture and especially precious antiques of every culture around the globe...And beautifully decorated plane models of "JODHPUR FLYING CLUB".
It was excellent experience for me to know about our culture and heritage. Let's together encourage and give knowledge to our young stars.

If you have patience to read and have fond of seeing old things of jodhpur then you must visit as this is much more better then other museum in Jodhpur.
I strongly recommend to visit it once entry from gate no.2
Thanks for reading!!!!

Nicely managed Museum, even if its location is too good

Very amazing place this is open 10am to 5 pm.
Advance tickets needs it is very nominal price like Indian student 10, Indian 20 and out of country visitors 100 and abroad student visitor 50 rupees.thank you so much

Very small museum in the middle of a big park fallen into dissrepair. We were harassed and followed by several gangs of teen boys young kids smoking and demanding money for visiting the area. My partner was also touched in appropriately. We did not feel safe here and chose not to go into the museum. Avoid this place if you are a tourist especially young female travelling alone.
