Naulakha Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:07:55

This ecclectic museum in the old part of town is housed in a beautiful, 260-year-old riverside royal palace that was built in a mixture of styles, with striking gargoyles. It shows royal artefacts, including scales used to weigh Maharaja Bhagwat Sinhji in 1934 (his weight in silver was distributed to the poor), a nine-volume Gujarati dictionary compiled by the same revered maharaja, and Dinky Toy collections. Two stables full of mint-condition horse carriages can be seen for an extra ₹20.
