Read moreThough the museum is nice enough and very well maintained, but it is very small and when we have visited only half of the museum. Reason? because some workshop was going on 🤔
My advise is not to visit during the evening or late hours coz it is bit scary in the sense that there is no crowd visiting this museum at all 🤪and no auto rickshaw or three-wheelers available to go to the museum from the metro station, it's 1.5 km walk from Ghitorni metro station yellow line and and nearly 1 km from Arjan garh! Metro station yellow line. And to walk during this scroching weather with the humidity is not advisable 😖 the way from metro till the museum is very dirty full of garbages till the point where we take left to inter the man road gate. Photography is not allowed inside the museum Restaurant was closed!
