Whether your tastes are in Bollywood stars, historical icons, or cultural heroes, there is something here for everyone.
The museum in Jaipur is made extensively beautiful by its setting. The museum interiors, particularly the Sheesh Mahal Mirror Palace, exhibit the royal artistry of Rajasthan; Nahargarh Fort provides a breathtaking backdrop. If you want to see museums differently, this should be your first choice.
