Baroda Museum

Getting around: In Sayaji Baug, central Vadodara, reachable by auto-rickshaw or taxi.
Hours: Open daily except Mondays, roughly 10:30am to 5pm.

Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery, set within Sayaji Baug park, holds a diverse collection spanning archaeology, sculpture, Egyptian and Mesopotamian artifacts, and European and Indian paintings, reflecting the cultural patronage of the Gaekwad rulers of the former Baroda princely state. Its combination of ancient artifacts and a fine arts picture gallery within one institution is broader than most regional Indian museums.

Given its location within Sayaji Baug, it's easily combined with the park's zoo and gardens for a fuller half-day of sightseeing in Vadodara.
