Albert Hall Museum

Getting around: In Ram Niwas Garden, central Jaipur, reachable by auto-rickshaw or taxi.
Hours: Open daily, roughly 9am to 5pm (day) with an evening reopening around 7pm to 10pm for night viewing.

Albert Hall Museum, housed in a grand Indo-Saracenic building completed in 1887, is Rajasthan's oldest museum, displaying a wide-ranging collection of art, weapons, sculpture, pottery, and an Egyptian mummy among its more unusual holdings. The building itself, illuminated at night, is one of Jaipur's most photogenic structures, set within the greenery of Ram Niwas Garden.

It's a worthwhile stop both for the collection and simply to see the striking architecture, and the evening opening hours let you view the building lit up after dark, a popular add-on to a day of Jaipur sightseeing.
