Salar Jung Museum
A single family's remarkable art collection
A short distance away from Hyderabad’s old monuments, on the banks of the river Musi is the Salar Jung Museum – telling the story of a single family’s remarkable acquisition of artwork and artefacts. The Museum hosts a magnificent global collection of art objects and antiques not only from India, but also from Western, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern countries. Its rich reference library includes rare manuscripts, and has become a centre for education, and also hosts a variety of workshops and exhibitions. The Salar Jung Museum is Hyderabad’s enduring landmark of the last century.
