Government Museum Bharatpur

A perfect combination of Rajput and Mughal architecture, the museum has greatly helped in attracting tourists from all over the world. Established on 11th November 1944, the museum was constructed in phases by several Maharajas. Originally, the Government Museum was a huge edifice called Kachahari Kalan. It served as the administrative headquarters for the different rulers of Bharatpur District. However, later this building was converted into a government museum during the year 1944. The personal area of the various Bharatpur rulers or ‘Kamra Khas’ became one of the most important parts of the museum as it highlights the grandeur and richness of the kings who ruled in Bharatpur.
