Historical Place Albert Hall Museum In Jaipur Rajasthn


Albert Hall Museum is a museum located in Jaipur district of Rajasthan state of India. This is the oldest museum in Rajasthan. This museum is in front of the new door of the CT wall on the outside of "Rama Niwas Garden". This is a building built in "Indo-Arabic Style". It was designed by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob and it was opened in 1887 as a public museum.


Maharaja Ram Singh wanted that it be made a Town Hall, but "Madho Singh II decided that it should be made a museum of art for Jaipur and it is considered to be part of the Ram Niwas garden. It is also known as "Government Central Museum". This museum offers many old paintings, old paintings, elephant teeth, precious stone, metal, statues and many other objects.
When the foundation stone of Albert Hall was laid during the visit of the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward to Jaipur in 1876, it had yet to be determined what use it would be put to. There were some suggestions about cultural or educational use or as a town hall. However in 1880 Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II approved a suggestion by Dr. Thomas Holbein Hendley, Resident Surgeon  to open a museum of Industrial Arts to display products of local craftsmen. A small museum was created in 1881 in temporary accommodation and proved most popular. Additionally, Hendley in 1883 mounted a Jaipur Exhibition at Naya Mahal (old Vidhan Sabha). The purpose of these exercises was to acquaint local craftsmen with the best examples of art work and handicrafts of India to inspire them to improve their skills, thereby protecting and preserving traditional art and reviving skills, while providing greater employment for artisans. It was also the intention that the display would help to educate youth in a wide variety of fields, entertain and inform the people of Jaipur.
