Palace museum

City Palace Museum, Jaipur

City Palace has been part of Jaipur's civic and royal centre since the city was founded. Built from the mid-18th century onward, the complex brings together courtyards, palace buildings, temples and the City Palace Museum. The museum's collections include objects commissioned or collected by the Kachwaha rulers of Amber and Jaipur. Some parts remain private or closed, so a ticket grants access only to the areas listed by the museum.

What to know

This is a strong place to understand how Jaipur's court, architecture and collections developed together. Move through the open courtyards and galleries at a measured pace, and look for the contrast between formal public spaces and richly decorated interiors. If you are interested in contemporary art, check whether Jaipur Centre for Art has a current exhibition during your visit.

Good to Know

The museum publishes current hours, tickets, closures and access details on its own visit page. Entry rules can differ by experience, and some palace rooms are part of separately ticketed tours. The complex is large and includes uneven surfaces. Confirm photography rules and accessibility arrangements directly before visiting.
