Museum of Legacies — Attraction in Jaipur Municipal Corporation

Museum of Legacies is a new addition to the list of museums in Jaipur. It is housed in a Haveli of an important minister in the court of Jaipur –Pandit Shiv Deen. He donated his residence to be converted into an art school in 1857 AD. It has been in use as an art school ever since

Museum of Legacies is situated in Kishanpol Bazaar, one of the prominent bazaars of the walled city area in Jaipur

Here are my views on the Museum Of legacies. The word Museum of Legacies is quite vague and not cohesive. It doesn’t conjure up any images. Two, the collection on display is neither convincing nor complete as it comprises of random pieces. Display pieces have been sourced from a few individuals and commercial enterprises. Therefore the collection has its limitations. Three, since these collections have been sourced from firms and individuals, they have been allowed to advertise their names discreetly. Four, Kishanpole Bazar is off the tourist map. With nothing else to explore around, it is unlikely that many tourists will visit the Museum Of Legacies.

This new museum in Jaipur doesn’t do justice to the building considering its legacy and how it has been associated with art and craft for centuries. If you are visiting Jaipur and love art and architecture, do explore and let me know your thoughts on Museum Of Legacies. I will recommend a visit to this beautiful Haveli for all its beauty and heritage. Full & detailed review can be found on...

Delightful new little museum in Jaipur, opened in November 2017. It's in a cool airy building that used to be an art school. The museum highlights modern traditional arts including fabrics, embroidery, stone carving and painting. Based around several private collections.

We were shown around by a nice and attentive guy in a uniform. The museum is...
