A good place to visit. Has many sections. Kids wont find it interesting except few sections. There is a nice garden to sit. You can cover this with other places in a one day tour. Dont plan to walk come by vehicle. This place is for people who have interest in history and archaeology. There is a separate fees if u want to take pictures with mobile. We went in month of July

Entry fee is Rs 50 for Indians. Himachal Pradesh state Measum is a good place for those who like rock art and outfit of Himachal, although there is not a lot of stuff here but there is a little thing which is good enough. Some things like Himachali Miniature Paintings, Sculptures here that can be seen quite a good glimpse, the rest of the campus here is also very beautiful in which a beautiful statue of Buddha touches the ground and more sculptures are placed around it.
However, the building which is there is not very high and is like a maze in which one can easily move from one section to another.

Himachal State Museum is quite interesting place for people who keep interest in history, art, culture, architecture and traditions. This building used to be the mansion of the British royals and later converted into museum in 1974. There's a entry fee applicable to this place. It is located in chaura maidan which is approximately 2.5 KMs from the Mall road. I really enjoyed my time here in learning about the history and the seeing the collection of ancient artefacts. I would recommend this place to both localites and tourists but with a disclaimer that only visit if you have some inclination about knowing the history and the ancient art.
