  • A Priceless collection
    Salarjung Museum is one of the much lauded tourist attractions of Hyderabad City. Mir Yusuf Ali Khan, popularly known as Salar Jung III served as Prime Minister
    to Nizam 1912, at the age of 23, but resigned two and a half years later. Thereafter he dedicated his whole life collecting antiques and art, which were the only passions of his lonely life. He spent considerable portion of his wealth for collecting them. It is believed that he spent half his income and his entire life towards collecting the art objects, rare manuscripts and paintings from all over the world. Though Salar Jung III is credited with these fantastic collections, it all started with his father and grandfather. This museum is well known throughout India for its prized collections. In the year 1961 it was declared to be an "Institution of National Importance" by an Act of Parliament, known as the Salar Jung Museum Act, 1961. It was originally housed in Diwan Devdi. It was shifted to the present building in 1968, which stands on the banks of the Musi. The museum is full of many interesting objects. It is divided into Indian Art, Children's Art, Middle Eastern Art, Far Eastern Art and European Art. The collections displayed include sculptures, wood carvings, religious objects, manuscripts, furniture, vases, snuff boxes, utensils, archer's rings, ornaments, pottery, clocks, miniature paintings, portraits, silver and costumes. It also houses toys, which came from all over the world such as France, England, Switzerland, Germany, Persia, China, Japan, Burma, and Sri Lanka.
