This is probably the best museum I have visited in India. We visited during Christmas break and the place was full. There was a long line for tickets which took about 20 minutes. It is possible to buy tickets online which I recommend if you go during public holidays. The museum is pretty big and the collections are fantastic. I found the Asian collection and also the literature collection to be very impressive. There are other rare collections like a carpet collection which might interest some people. If you like art, don't miss this museum.

Located near MG Road metro,this place is a gem of Hyderabad. Entry fee is 50 rs, but will recommend to spend another 50 bucks for camera ticket as mobile phones are not allowed inside. The museum boosts of one of the greatest collections of the world. The place demands minimum 3-4 hours if you want to at least just visit every part of the museum. The museum has collection from different parts of the world. Veiled Rebbeca and singing clock are the two most sought after attractions of the museum. Overall verdict - definitely recommended.

I can say that this is must visit place if you are in Hyderabad. Ticket Price: 50 rupees Camera use charge: 50 rupees You can easily spend almost half of your day here. There are many things to see here. You will find versatility here. From one to another room just visit and experience different things from history. Things you must see. 1. Musical Watch (see video posted) 2. Double face statue 3. Armour used by kings 4. Handicrafts made with elephant teeth (although it was a cruel process separating teeth but it just happened in history so you can enjoy art on them) 5. Western and eastern blocks to see the culture of European and Asian countries There is a food court inside and good number of washrooms and water facilities are available. You should purchase a camera ticket.
