6 months agoJammu is a very heritage rich city and you must visit this place if you want to see that heritage. This is a grand old building having king Palace 👑 and a very good museum. The museum showcases almost all kinds of weapons used during Dogra Rule in wars. It also showcases the different kinds of clothes, utensils and jewelry used by Dogra communities. I am 100% sure that you will be very happy and informed to know the rich culture of the Dogra community and its rulers of Jammu. A very special place to visit.

a month agoDogra Art Museum is a small but valuable place to explore Dogra culture. It has beautiful Pahari paintings, old manuscripts, coins, and weapons. Though the displays could be better maintained, it’s worth a quick visit for history and art lovers. Note: Washrooms not available in same compound. Washroom near Entrance has Poor hygiene conditions.

a year agoFull of Dogra art & culture, it was a delight to visit this museum. They have ancient Sharada and Devnagri manuscripts, ancient coins, old pottery, olden dresses, weapons, miniature paintings which can be seen minutely with a microscope, etc. Photography was prohibited. You can spend upto half an hour in the museum, more if really interested. There are no restrooms. You have to go to the main gate for a paid smelly washroom experience.
