About the Museum

Commissioned as a private residence by HH Shrimant Jayajirao Scindia in 1857 to welcome King Edward VII, the west wing of the majestic Jai Vilas Palace was converted into a museum by the late wife of HH Maharaja Sir George Jiwajirao Scindia on 12th December 1964. Located in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, the place is a living Palace Museum and is administered by Mannu Raje Charitable Trust.

Designed and built according to the finest European architecture, the palace is spread over an area of 12,40,771 square feet and illustrates an amalgamation of Tuscan and Corinthian styles with a strong Baroque effect. A dreamland for art and history paramours, the magnificent museum is one of a kind in the country with its beautiful architecture, stunning interior, and rare artifacts displayed there.
