Museums in Udaipur
City Palace Museum
The
main part of the palace is now preserved as a museum displaying a large and
diverse array of artefacts. Down steps from the entrance is the armoury museum
exhibiting a huge collection of protective gear, weapons including the lethal
two-pronged sword. The City Palace museum is then entered through the Ganesh
Deori meaning the door of Lord Ganesh.
Shilpgram Museum
Literally meaning a "Craftsmen's Village" is a living ethnographic
museum depicting the enormous diversities in craft, art & culture between
various Indian states, but the exquisite terracotta work mainly in dark red
and dark brown sand material along with the wooden carvings are the forte of
this ethnic village . Shilpgram comprises 26 huts set in 70 acres of natural
surroundings at the foot of the Aravali Hills.A colourful craft festival during
winter seasons to the whole set up induces viatanity and zeal.
Ahar Museum
Located about 2 kms east of Udaipur is an impressive cluster of cenotaphs of
the Maharanas of Mewar. There are about nineteen cenotaphs of Maharanas cremated
there. The most striking cenotaph is that Maharana Amar Singh, who reigned from
1597 to 1620. Nearby is also Ahar Museum, where on display is limited but very
rare earthen pottery.
Vintage Collection of Classic Car Museum
The collection within the grounds of the Garden Hotel comprises a variety of
classic and interestingly rare transportation vehicles; some stately and vintage
like Cadalec, Chevalate, Morais etc., while the others are sleek and fast .
