On entry to the Museum there is a small video presentation which is very informative. There is an excellent display of precious stones from mining to manufacturing. Gem stones, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamonds, Tanzanite, Blue Topaz.....and the list is endless, One should not miss the jewellery display ranging from Victorian Jewellery, to the Kundan-Meena, Gold and the Diamond Jewellery including the Silver jewellery. There are also helpful panels replete with scientific and historical information for the interested visitor.The Manager in charge is very friendly, patiently explaining the various sections in the museum, answering your questions and finally taking a pic of you for your visit as cameras are not allowed.

This museum is located close to Amer Fort and is excellent value for money (clean toilets too!). We looked at the exhibitions and then had a live demonstration of how to make a wooden block pattern to use as a print. We continued to another live demonstration of how to block print on fabric. We were able to have a go and were allowed to take our sampler piece away as a souvenir. A very quiet museum which is well worth a visit.

I visited the museum and puppet show during the off-season, (46 degree heat!) and even though I was the only tourist who arrived for the show the kind staff and puppeteers very thoughtfully went ahead with the puppet show just for me! I thought that was so generous, the ticket is only 100 rupees for the interesting museum and the fun show, which is memorable with a talented musician and puppeteer. The staff were kind and keen to explain items in the museum. Many thanks for your hospitality.
