Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum

Great places to observe historic items. Has contents in all shapes and sizes, from small earrings to big door and chariot. The entry fee is rupees 100 per person and there seems to be some concession for senior citizens in it. If you are going to take photos, need to pay Rs. 100 extra for it. Has over 3 floors, with resting benches and water filter availability. Place is also we'll maintained so it is lit properly. It takes easily around 3 hours to go through all the items and closes at 5:30, so plan accordingly. Parking is very limited and only for two wheelers and entrance is via a small and congested lane.
Would definitely recommend visiting this place to take a trip through various history.

Raja Dinkar Museum is an amazing place to visit while you are in Pune. It gives a detailed information about the heritage, culture, music about the city and state of Maharashtra.
We visited on a Saturday afternoon ????.
Parking space is not available. Be careful while you park the vehicle in any of the nearby place.
Entry ticket Price is Rs 100/ adult. Rs 100/camera to use the mobile phone ???? camera.
Ticket Price are very affordable and justified once you have a look around the well maintained premises.
Thank you all for keeping the place clean.

It is worth the ticket price. If you have the slightest interest in history and culture. It shows how skilled our ancestors were and how much varieties and uniqueness we had in our day to day use items. From a betel box to cutting knives to locks and spoons. Compared to the varities in shapes, sizes and complexities of various items, our present lives seem primitive and mundane.

The level of skills on brass and wooden works mesmerised me. I don't believe our present day craftsmen can match these.
