Unusual and unique collection. Loved it, it's a great way to spend an hour in the heart of Old Pune. Be prepared for an old style Indian museum, i.e. it's a little disheveled and not glitzy at all.

There were many rooms and several floors to explore at the Kelkar Museum. I must admit besides shopping it is only the second tourist attraction I've seen in Pune and would recommend. Was even able to recommend to some of my local colleagues who had never been. I think my favourite things were the amazing carved doors, but there are... More

This museum has some very good collections to see, will certainly be a love-spot for them, who love history and its remains. The collections are not very old but 90% of them are between 1700 AD - 2000 AD. I was glad to see Mastani's (Bajirao's Wife) Bed and her royal collections.

The museum is located in very beautiful building. Unfortunately, the building is neglected. Visitors can still find some details they catch their eyes. Regarding the collection, it is very interested and quite rich. I have seen few other museums with similar items but this one is probably the best one. Few small things reduce my grade. 1. The museum is... More

Just the fact that it started as one man's passion makes it interesting. unlike other museum where you only see royal stuff this place has stuff that is commonplace yet unique, it tells you stories of times that you don't see otherwise.
