Experience an interactive learning environment

Introducing Quick Response (QR) codes as part of its interactive information displays, the museum enhances visitor experience by making every exhibit come alive with invaluable knowledge and insights. Established during British colonial rule in 1863, the museum initially found shelter adjacent to Sitabuldi Fort before finally finding a permanent home in Nagpur's Civil Lines district. Careful restoration work has returned its 19th-century Maratha structure back to its former glory for all to admire.
