Did you know Hyderabad is home to one of the 6 Egyptian mummies in India? Well, Dr. YS Rajashekhara Reddy State Museum, also called as the Telangana State Museum in Public Gardens, Hyderabad, is the place you must visit. Apart from the Mummy, this museum has several artefacts that are centuries old including hundreds of idols of Hindu deities.

Entry fee is Rs 20, parking Rs 10 and photography Rs 50. If you are wondering how come an Egyptian Mummy found its way to this museum, it was gifted by Nazeer Nawaz Jung, the son-in-law of Mir Mahboob Ali Khan, the 6th Nizam of Hyderabad to Mir Osman Ali Khan, the 7th Nizam. The Mummy dates back to 300 to 100 BC and is believed to be that of a girl aged between 16 to 18, daughter of Pharaoh. #DrYSRajasekharaReddyStateMuseum #TelanganaStateMuseum #Mummy #EgyptianMummy #India #Telangana #Hyderabad #ChinesePorcelain #HistoricArtefacts #Idols #CannonGuns #AjantaPaintings #Ivory #Quran #GoldenInscriptions #PublicGardens #TelanganaArchealogicalMuseum

The Telangana State Archaeology Museum is an exceptional cultural treasure trove. With over 2,500 artifacts spanning centuries, it offers a fascinating journey through the region's rich history. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated and beautifully displayed, providing insightful glimpses into the diverse civilizations that once thrived here. From intricate sculptures to ancient coins, each artifact tells a story. The museum's well-informed staff enhances the experience with their knowledge and enthusiasm. The only downside is that some sections could benefit from improved signage. Overall, a must-visit for history buffs and a testament to Telangana's vibrant heritage. #articrafts

This landmark is an unimaginable combination of History, Heritage and Indian Culture. Just couldn't get my eyes off the beautiful sculptures, the fine carvings of Bodhisatva and the rich information at this massive museum. There are multiple sections that house huge stupas, metal idols, broken walls etched with pictures of 12th century and huge paintings. You can spend close to 3 hours here if you are really interested in educating yourself about the history and heritage of our beautiful country, especially ancient South India. Not to forget some Egyptian mummy. All this for just INR 10!

Its locally known as Mummy Museum as it has a preserved mummy of a girl. It is divided in various parts and one must give an hour to see it completely. The charge is 10rupees/adult and 50 rupees for mobile. The person at the ticket counter was extremely helpful and guided well for the museum. Washrooms are available at ground and first floor of the inner building. Must visit place for those who are interested in history and culture of India. (Visited- July2022)

The building and premises are very charming and the collection is also not bad. The Mummy is pretty cool but I felt they could have displayed it in better conditions. The maintenance was not satisfactory. They are doing an okay job with the upkeep. Also there is enough stuff here to checkout for a full afternoon, if you are into musuems. More than the Mummy, I felt the highlight display of this museum is easily this massive Chariot used by the Jataprolus from the 17th century. Wish maintainance was as good as atleast Salar Jung.

  • sribhashyam vasudha

The ambiance is rustic. The artifact galleries are filled with intricate sculptures of bronze, caste iron, ivory and stone from varying dynasties. The art gallery with Ajanta paintings is exquisite and so well stocked spanning two big halls Friendly staff Parking space- generally available No on site food and water stores Not wheelchair friendly

I was more shocked than surprised when I heard that most of my friends staying in Telengana State have not heard of this amazing place; this museum has some amazing collection of artifacts and a huge chariot that you definitely grab anyone's attention once they pass through the main gates. Overall it is a very good place for museum fanatics such as myself and is an ideal place for spending some ideal family time with parents.

  • Josiah Wadsack

Really cool museum with a varied collection of European and Indian canon, Mughal painting and furniture, Hindu stone and bronze statuary, stone inscriptions, Harappan artifacts, and even copies of the Ajanta cave frescoes. Price is 10 (50 for foreigners). Definitely worth a stop, could spend half a day here.

This State Museum has the famous Egyptian Mummy, some bronzes, cannons and a huge 17th century wooden chariot of Telangana. It's located in the heart of hyderabad. But more maintenance/attention is required from government.

It's a little-known historical place in the City. But it's totally worth going there. The pieces kept there are well maintained and have labels to describe them. it also has a great Vibe if you want to just walked around us it under the trees with a friend. Definitely a much cheaper alternative to hang out over coffee or food.

  • Aaquib Shaikh

A mixed Indian culture you get at a single place. Paintings are excellent. No proper ventilation inside and no air proper supply. Easily affordable. Must visit if you are interested in knowing history.
