Gujari Mahal is located on the eastern gate of the fort near Badalgarh doorway. It is about 4 km from railway station and bus stand. Taxi, auto and tampo are available to reach Gujari Mahal from the railway or bus station.

Gujari Mahal Museum is one of the important museum under the Directorate of Archaeology, Archives and Museums, Madhya Pradesh.

Not sure why this museum is inside the Gwalior Fort when none of the artefacts belong to it. Mostly these were excavated around the Morena, Shivpuri locations. They charge Rs 5 for which you may say that you don't have change and the guy at the counter takes Rs 10 :-) , eventually saying you take it while returning... And when you go again, you will hear the same 'no change' story. I have seen many people facing this silly issue. ASI should make it free or take UPI payments instead of cash.

Coming to the actual point as I said, I had no idea why the museum was there. But still you can visit to cherish our great past and rich heritage. One more thing, the staff won't allow selfies with the artefacts. What surprised me is the way these age old stone carvings are thrown outside in the open area. You will find more articles in the garden than inside the rooms. Somehow I felt this museum was opened due to political reasons and not for educational or information purposes.
