Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum

It was a wonderful experience. 3-4 hours well spent. Huge collections and the audio assisted tour is very well written and conducted to explain the story behind every exhibit.

It was a wonderful experience. This place has a good collection of paintings, ancient sculptures, old manuscripts and artefacts.
The best part is that you can opt for audio assistance for which there is an additional charge although it is optional. It is just 1 km away from the main entrance gate of Laxmi Vilas Palace.
Definitely recommended….

Fabulous, you will never find a museum with so many paintings by Raja Ravi Verma. A must visit.

The museum is great, would recommend to get tickets for both as combo the palace and museum it will be helpful and cheaper. The place is amazing and nice to visit with information about the city and the leaders of the city

Wonderfully maintained palace. An audio guided tour of the palace as default makes the experience an even better tour

This museum contains various art pieces from different countries.
If you are an art enthusiast do visit there are many beautiful paintings and other things.

Just a heads-up, they make you submit your phone before entering the museum.

Very well maintained museum. A myriad collection of artworks including marble statues, procelian and glass works.

Good but need some more antiques to showcase.it was more like art gallery, few war weapons were also there.
A brief history along with would bring it a little more alive.

The place visually is very attractive and gives a sense of royalty. There is a guide who explains you the detail and the backstory of all the paintings and statues. There are some specialities in some of the statues, like some are made of only one rock. Then there is furniture of China, and the paintings made by Raja Ravi Varma which look so real, some paintings that are double sided and some made by the English people. And then at least there were these detailed accessories of their time some of China, Japan and the Marathas like utensils, clothes and caps and pagdis. A must visit place overall

Awesome paintings and statue, a memorable place in my life. Like to visit again to explore more

If you are an art aficionado, you must include the Maharaja Fatehsingh Museum in your Vadodara itinerary. Located within the premises of the Lakshmi Vilas Palace, the museum is housed in a building that once served as the home-school for the Maharaja’s children. Today, you can find a treasure trove of art collections within the walls of this building. Major works of art by famous painters from Europe and India are displayed here, including a special collection of paintings of Raja Ravi Varma. The museum also has an impressive collection of flawless sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses in bronze and marble.

If you are very passionate for art it is very beautiful, all paintings, sculpture, art are awesome. Must see

The striking Laxmi Vilas Palace was constructed in 1890 and it has stuctural look of all four religion like Temple, Church, Gurudwara, Mosque and it took nearly twelve years to complete it. Sprawling across an area of about 700 acres, it has now golf course which is paid and can be used to play.

I'm taking about museum not on vilas palace.
Mausem:
It's full of paintings by ravi varam paints nd royal families things are there to display.

They don't allow phone and camera inside of museum, it's ok not that much impressive.

If I talk about this palce here so many peacocks are lives open freely it's looks so cool.

Maharaja fateh singh museum was building constructed as a school for the Maharaja's children. Today a large number of works of art belonging to the Maratha Royal family are displayed in the museum. There is a collection of sculptures in marble and bronze. The museum has an oriental gallery which houses Japanese and Chinese sculptures and other works collected by the Maharaja on his visits to these countries.

No bags
No phones
No water bottles
No cameras

Paintings are wonderful and some of the sculptures are really wonderful. Many of the art work lacks detailed information.

I really wanted at least water bottle with me. Sitting arrangements would make it really wonderful.

A fairytale palace which can make you daydream about the days this place was occupied with probably thousands of servants, courtiers and royalty in splendid cloths and jewels and making use of elephants as means of transport.

Artifacts and paintings are good. But u will enjoy only if u are an art lover else very boring. The audio is too slow with unnecessarily sad music in it.

If you an art lover, do visit and do take the audio tour and if you are not and art lover it's your choice!

It's a painting gallery museum where Raja Ravi Verma's painting u will get to see. There r paintings and artifacts of some other artists from overseas too. DON'T DO MISTAKE OF TAKING AUDIOGUIDE. It's a 90min tape n gets boring if u r not into paintings and everything in exxxxtra details. U can finish looking around in 30 to 45min max. People in museum explain u bit about some important paintings and artifacts and I found that's enough. Overall good place to visit along with d palace

The building was constructed as a school for the Maharaja's children. Today a large number of works of art belonging to the Maratha Royal family are displayed in the museum. The museum contains works of art collected by Maharaja Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III during his numerous trips out of India. The major works of art in this museum are the paintings by European and Indian artists including a collection of the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, who was specially commissioned by the then Maharaja of Baroda. The collection includes portraits of the Royal family in addition to the paintings based on Hindu mythology for which Raja Ravi Varma was famous. There is a collection of sculptures in marble and bronze.

The artifacts and the architecture is just another piece of artwork. The construction of this place is very vast.

Photography inside the museum isn’t allowed and the only bad thing as compared to other city palaces and all other architectural monuments is that they don’t give out student discounts.

And as well, this place on the surrounding is known as the Laxmi Vila’s palace and also the movie GRAND MASTI was shot here.

There are different food places around the palace but outside the premises.

Only negative point is they’re charging way too much for the visit.

Awesome collection of bronze sculpture, paintings by Raja Ravi Varma and European artistes, in addition to artefacts

Best place to visit and experience the view of Private mension with ancient weapons and royal lifestyle.

म्यूजियम बहुत ही सुंदर एवं कलात्मक वस्तुओं से परिपूर्ण है। म्यूजियम में राजा रवि वर्मा द्वारा चित्रित महाराजा सयाजी गायकवाड़ एवं उनके परिवार के अन्य सदस्यों के अति सुंदर एवं सजीव चित्रों का प्रदर्शन किया गया है जो कि मन को मोह लेते हैं । लगभग डेढ़- दो सौ वर्ष पुराने चित्र भी सजीव से प्रतीत होते हैं।

Great place for students.good collection of king.i like some paiting which was awesome.like a 3d painting.

The Maharaja Fatehsingh Museum in the Laxmi Vilas Palace compound has been awarded the Best Museum prize by the tourism department of Gujarat. The award was announced by the department some days ago and the museum was given a trophy and a certificate. Established in 1961, the museum is home to some of the exquisite sculptures and paintings.

Awesome villa in baroda only one drawback is that you can not go to the second and third floor to see their buty as currant king is living inside.

Both LAKSHMI VILAS palace & Fatehsingh Museum at Vadodara still owned & Controlled by Vadodara Royalty. Great Originals of Raja Ravi Varma & his Brother Raja Raja Varma displayed.

Peep into the life of erstwhile rulers during your visit to the Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum. The museum is located in the compound of Laxmi Vilas Palace, which was once the official residence of the Gaekwad family of Gujarat.
The Museum is also known for exhibiting works by artists like Raphael, Titian, Murillo and Rembrandt. Another interesting section houses Chinese and Japanese porcelain artefacts, while two rooms on the ground floor are treasure troves of the Roccoco period in art.
The Museum has recently inaugurated a headgear gallery where vibrant headgear's from Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra collected by Maharaja Ranjitsinh Gaekwad are displayed.

They have an amazing collection of Raja Ravi Verma painting in case you are a fan. They also have an exhibition of the numerous types of turbans that are worn in India. Cameras need to be deposited at the entrance. You could buy a ticket with the palace visit to same some money.

Good collection of antiques, artifact's and paintings. The 3d paintings are worth seeing. Well displayed and well maintained. Worth the money spent.

One of the top 5 destination to visit in Vadodara. Rich in history and architecture. Need 2 hours to explore the palace. Not miss the museum too.

The building was constructed as a school for the Maharaja's children. Today a large number of works of art belonging to the Maratha Royal family are displayed in the museum. The museum contains works of art collected by Maharaja Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III during his numerous trips out of India.

The collection includes portraits of the Royal family in addition to the paintings based on Hindu mythology for which Raja Ravi Varma was famous.

There is a collection of sculptures in marble and bronze. These include copies of great masters in bronze commissioned by the Maharaja and also originals by renowned artists. One of the artists commissioned by the Maharaja was an Italian artist Fellicci whose works adorn not only the Museum but also the Lakshmi Vilas Palace. Some of Fellici's works can be seen on the Public Park (Sayaji Garden also known as Kamati Baug by the locals).

The museum has an oriental gallery which houses Japanese and Chinese sculptures and other works collected by the Maharaja on his visits to these countries.

Though palace is small compared to Udaipur palace but I feel it contains more delicate, costly and noteworthy items. Articles here are almost from all over the world. Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Roman, French and much more. Specially I admired and witnessed that there are plenty of paintings from Raja Ravi Varma along with many foreign painters. Statues, old dresses, royal artillery etc keep you awestruck.

Please do a short trip in this museum coz the main attraction is the palace.
Watch out for the Raja Ravi Verma paintings, 3D paintings and also the ivory bed of Sayajiraje III and Chimnabai.
The gold painting of Khanderao is also unique.
Do a quick trip in the museum.

It was really great experience to visit Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum.

I like some paintings which was designed and painted by awesome artirst. That paintings was like 3D you can feel the flow and aura of the paintings. Also there was lots of gifts and memorial things which was gifted to King.

From French / China / United Kingdom and other countries have already gifted them so many expensive gifts.

It's not that interesting a museum. Many common things that we get to see at other museums as well. Only the 3D paintings were different and quite amazing. The fees charged are way too much for only a compact museum.
The peacock outside is a plus point.

Portraits of Historical figures, nature and landscapes; bronze statues, ceramic works are on display. Some landscape portraits are having 3D effects, it may appear some objects e.g. Road, stairs shifts as per location of viewer.
