Telangana State Archaeology Museum

Small museum in the public garden. There is small collection of artifacts and paintings but building is in dilapidated condition.

Very informative but very bad in condition, no maintenance or no promotion atleast nothing

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.

It's a small museum however has exhibits dated in the 6th to 19th century. Loved the experience.

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 am glad to see these ancient and precious art culture, collection is superb and everything is properly arranged as in learning point of view

As one of the prominent museums in the state, it offers visitors a comprehensive collection of artifacts, artworks, and exhibits that provide valuable insights into the diverse traditions, archaeology, and history of the region

Had a good learning experience. It has a mummy of a girl and they are painting from the Deccan School of Arts and Mughal School of Arts. Must visit this place if you are interested in arts and history. There are scripts and other items for history lovers.

According to the website, the museum was open but on reaching here we were greeted with closed gates and hostile guards.

Only good attraction here is Egyptian mummy, otherwise museum is not maintained, full of mosquitoes, less electricity and old fittings. Other museums in Hyderabad are better option but if you have not seen Egyptian mummy than you can choose to visit this one

Good place but nothing much to see, Except the Egyptian mummy. Less crowded and greenery place. Good place to spend for 2-3 hours in weekend with friends or family.

Most of the artifacts kept here are not dated so you can't tell how old are they.
Also the stone Stachus in the open area are not kept so well.

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.

Archaeologist Henry Cousens first explored the site in the beginning of the 19th century, and around 1940 the mound was excavated under the supervision of Nizam of Hyderabad. The excavated items were placed in a museum built on the ancient site. In 1952, the museum's contents were moved to the current building, under the administrative control of Archaeological Survey of India. In 1930, (Nizam VII) Mir Osman Ali Khan, who wanted to preserve the Hyderabad's state's heritage, had named the museum as Hyderabad Museum. It was named as Andhra Pradesh State Archaeology Museum in 1960. In 2008, a sword belonging to the Nizam and other artifacts were stolen from the museum. After the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in 2014, the museum was renamed Telangana State Archeology Museum.

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)

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.

If you haven't seen this place and live in Hyderabad you have to make a plan to go there for sure. There's an actual MUMMY in this museum, mummy of a 16 year old ancient Egyptian girl. And the ticket is just 10₹ so.when are you going?

This museum is very underrated. We could find lots of interesting and amazing stuff there. There are differnet blocks like decorative block, copper and tin block, Jain block, arms canon block. Particulary, I fell in love with decorative block. I Felt so high during the visit.

Well preserved and well maintained Museum.my first experience and it was really good to see the history and the very very old Buddha idols from near.

Located in Public garden premises. Need enter from public garden main entrance gate. Can take vehicle upto there. Resides in shady and greeny premises.
Highlight is relics of Budha and Egyptian mummy. It's ok to know about history and culture of India. Especially Andhra region. Kakatiya mantapam, Wooden ratha welcomes us in the entrance. Museum is spread into two blocks and two floors. Entrance fee is for children₹ 5/- and adults is ₹ 10/-. Photography permitted for camera/ mobile with a fee of ₹ 50/-.

One of the best places. Iam very happy to see. (29.05.2022.2.30 p.m) But I delete one star because the ticket collector could not like to give back change. So visitors are suggested to bring change.

What's Good.
1. A R Chugtai gallery is worth visiting
2. Not crowded
What's Bad.
1. No descriptions. Apart from Hall 3 on the first floor of the main building and the Chugtai Gallery in the adjacent building, I couldn't find description of the halls (theme) or the artefacts (only title is given) that were on display.
2. The Jain gallery was closed when I visited.

Not much to see, just few artifact's from lost times. But you can do visit if you have NOTHING to do.

I have visited the place 7 times. It is divided into 3 parts: State museum, health museum and nursery. There is a lottttt to learn n see in the entire museums. The worst part is the management. The items which are displayed are not being taken care

About museum in brief: -
Telangana State Archaeology Museum, earlier called as Hyderabad Museum / AP State Archeology Museum is located at the Hyderabad’s Public Garden. It is one of the oldest museums not just of Hyderabad but is among the best in South India. The site on which the museum has been build was explored by the known archaeologist Henry Cousens built in the era of 19th century.

The timings of this museum should be updated. It is closed on second Saturdays as well. We went there and it was a wasted trip as we were told the museum is shut on second Saturdays. On the board it mentions closed on Fridays and Public holidays but it is even shut on second Saturdays. I hope this bit of information will help others from making unnecessary trips to a closed museum. My suggestion is call them up before going to ensure that it's open.

One time visit. You can visit this place in Hyderabad near Assembly metro station.
Entry fee is INR 10/- For Indians

Telangana State Archaeology Museum is historical place in the city about Nizam of Hyderabad and main attraction is Egyptian mummy. Ticket price for child - 5/- rs, adult - 10/-. Photography - 50/- rs, Videography - 200/- rs

Telangana State Archaeology Museum or Hyderabad Museum is a museum located in Hyderabad,  India. It is the oldest museum in Hyderabad.

Archaeologist Henry Cousens first explored the site in the beginning of the 19th century, and around 1940 the mound was excavated under the supervision of Nizam of Hyderabad. The excavated items were placed in a museum built on the ancient site. In 1952, the museum's contents were moved to the current build, under the administrative control of Archaeological Survey of India.

In 1930, (Nizam VII)  Mir Osman Ali Khan, wanted to preserve the Hyderabad's state's heritage, had named the museum as Hyderabad Museum.

It was named as Andhra Pradesh State Archaeology Museum in 1960.

In 2008, a sword belonging to the Nizam and other artifacts were stolen from the museum.

After the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in 2014, the museum was renamed Telangana State Archeology Museum.

Anyone interested in seeing Egyptian mummy can visit this place. Though mummy was little demorphed. The history and procedure of mummification is described on a printed board.

Very poor service and staff is very rude and disrespectful, we did not even receive our order after waiting for an hour.

Not that good, the only good thing is that it has one of the six mummy in India. So you can visit this museum to see mummy.

Entry fee is 10 rupees. For photography they will charge 50 rupees. Parking is 10 rupees. It's beside assembly.

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. Chinese porcelain, replica of historic monuments made of ivory, Chariot, Ajanta Paintings, Buddhist prayer room, Quran with Golden inscriptions and cannon guns which will surely wow the visitors. 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

This place is calm and serene. It's located in a busy location but is shielded by the rush and noise by being next to a pleasant garden. Full of interesting antiques. Each has its own story to tell. There is Egyptian section, Bronze idol section, Decorative Art section, Buddist Heritage secrion, Ajanta painting section, Arabic art and jain art sections. There is an open air section with Cannons, Wooden Chariot, reconstructed Mandapas and few sculptures thrown about.

But the museum has seen better days. The maintenance is shockingly lacking. The lights in the display don't work. Some of those antiques have been neglected to wither. The staff don't care and won't even bother to help or explain the rich heritage. They don't even care for the museum maintainability. They don't preserve the serene atmosphere at all. I am disappointed at the state of the museum.

I hope more sections be opened for the public and stimulate the interests for the posterity.

Please do visit to understand our history and heritage.

Im visiting the state museum first time and it gives me some knowledge about history and Egypt mummy is the great thing we can visit that lace

Many interesting things of archeological interests are on display here
The most interesting and important is the Egyptian mummified remains!
Well preserved and maintained museum
Displays will stun both kids and elders

Very much interested place much greenery also known as Raja Bangla, this place was ruled by a king.

Great place to understand historical journey of telangana. If you come here must visit SalarJung museum because it is only few km away.

It is collection of all the artefacts and bronze figurines of god's and goddesses and stone statues of the different centuries. Rich collection of artefacts with various parts of state. The wooden ratha is gigantic and marvellous.yet no damages on wooden ratha.art gallery of ajanta paintings replicated almost original one

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.

The sculptures we observe here vl take u r breath.entry ticket is 10rs. If u want to click pics then u have to take ticket which costs 100rs. The way they arranged the sculptures and arts is not that great.

If you are in Nampally you should visit this museum it's good and the ticket charge is 10 rupees only.you can spend your time here if you are waiting for someone and also if your train from Nampally station is late.

The Ajanta gallery on the upper floor is a very pleasant display. The museum building with its wooden stairs and columns is a piece of fine architecture.
The Ajanta gallery on the upper floor is a very pleasant display. I wish the name of the artist/s had been mentioned. The museum building with its wooden stairs and columns is a piece of fine architecture.

(Visited in December 2017) - A fine museum although not as large as Salar Jung Museum. Watch out for the mummified remains of an Egyptian Princess (Ptolemic Dynasty). Some good broze idols like Chola Era Nataraja etc can also be found. Worth visiting.

Good collection of artifacts. A great place to gain knowledge about history. Artifacts related to Indian mythology and dynasties are kept here.

Lots of archealogical and priceless idols and ancient earthenware and pottery for display.it's an amazing to get yourself experience the past! A must visit for history lovers
