Truly wonderful for all the variety of things from not just Himachal but also other places. Genuine visitors need to give 4 to 5 hours to full appreciate everything. The old photographs from the British era are wonderful and the sections covering various aspects of Himachali culture are fantastically curated. Would have loved better guidance to negotiate the rooms though! Seems like a maze to most.

This place is fabulous. The great artifacts and historical art is preserved here. The tour was extraordinary. The museum staff is extremely friendly. I thoroughly loved being there. The library is the must watch. The museum in its entirety is exceptional.

The Shimla state museum also known as the Himachal state museum and library is located on Mount Pleasant and is one of the most charming Shimla points of interest. The sprawling lawns and the brilliant British architecture makes this place totally worthwhile. The museum amazingly displays the glorious past of the state with its rich culture and heritage. They have an incredible collection of different artifacts, paintings, sculptures, handicrafts and a lot more which they have been preserving since ages.
