Its very nice place to explore

I am sure there’s a lot of scope for better maintenance. Staff are mostly unfriendly. Few are exceptionally nice.

Great environment to relax , explore new things, know about histories, have fun and play

I have visited 2 times with my kids. They enjoyed lot. I didnt know this big museum in Chennai. Special event will be dinosaur shows for every 1 hours and no extra cost. Entry fees 20 for adult and 10 for kids during my visit. U can spend half a day there.

Well maintained museum. But there is no local guides. Lots of historical information which i found there.

This is a complex that was built by the English during their colonial times and now converted to a museum. There are several buildings displaying various items but the buildings themselves are nice. What is even better are the spaces between the buildings which are so serene and peaceful with seats to sit down and relax to catch your breath before you venture into the next building. These are also picnic spots where people have their food packed from home/restaurant thus spreading a mouth watering aroma.The bronze statues, coins and medals are, in my opinion, the best of the lot. Exceptional art work of yesteryear. The expression on the faces of the different statues and the way the details on the legs and hands have been done is fantastic. The medals and coins are simply amazing.

Date 8/8/21Its a big muesum in the city range.. nice place spent time with frnds, family, particularly for students study purpose its a good great place..Otherwise max 2 time visitable place..Do not throughout tickets all the building entry they will ask tickets...We dont take pictures inside some place with our wish, because some security will allow others tell do not take pics.,Have enough parking space.,Ticket price adult 15 rs /head..Go with kids they these place..Enough sitout benches in the way and have resting places also ..

Very good place, must visit. Huge collections to watch. You can easily spend 2 Hrs with your kids. Large skeleton of whale and elephant is the best for kids.

One of the most beautiful tourist attraction in Chennai..

Visit with your family and enjoy full day here, make some fun and gather some knowledge

A good museum with lot of information.

Definitely, would rate as one of the most comprehensive and highly rated list of collections.ProsEntry ticket is priced nominally as any government museum. Collection and subjects are huge and exhaustive. One would neatly need more than a day to go through the objects. Super collection of local flora and fauna, especially the aqua lifeConsStaff is literally none with no support. One may find quite a few of the objects are ill maintained, at any point some quarter or the other is either under renovation or closed.Tip - carry a water bottle and start your day early, you may sometimes get delayed at the entry counter and strongly advise to carry exact change at the ticketing counter

It is a grand old museum of Whole India.British people start the museum .It has five parts.History ,archeology, statues,numestics,human evolution and many others are elaborately shown.Every students must visit the museum

A grand old museum thats once again left to rot! Sadly despite all the tall talk of the Minister and officials in charge at ground level its a big cipher when it comes to giving tourists a good museum visit experience. With dusty environs, lack of air-conditioning and hopeless discretion in crowd management a museum visit is a recipe for disaster for any discerning foreign tourist. Perhaps a talk less work more attitude would help for the authorities responsible or else you may just shut shop!

Good and musiam

If you have kids, its a must visit. Its filled with lot of valuable things for them to learn. As expected its a poorly maintained place, dusty and little bad lighting. If you spend a a good time one day wont be enough to cover all

Place is very informative.Open till 5pm (Sunday to Saturday). Have 6 different building to see. Very hard to visit all if someone do not have at least 4hrs for this place.If you running out of time Ill recommend Building No. 1 (Basic); and Building No.2 (Bronze).Gate pass ₹15/- per head. Enjoy!

I visited the museum on Friday. On arrival i came to know that Friday is weekly off. Kindly avoid visiting the museum on Friday. Some sort of renovation was going on.

I went there and just loved it a lot.... You have to go a little early like about ten am so That you will be able to cover all the exhibits.Best experience if you go with family and friends. I i am very proud about my place after visiting the museum. Aavin parlor nearby.

A must visit place within Chennai though government could have maintained it better. There are multiple buildings which exhibits different themes. I enjoyed the animal exhibits in the main building. Car parking was convenient. There was an Aavin shop for a nice snack break.

One of the important and most visiting places, well maintained very old buildingLandmark place

Probably the biggest museum of Tamilnadu.It was well maintained and preserved. It will be great to gain so many knowledge in a single place in a day.Adjacently, the famous Connemara library situated here.

👍

Historical place

Must watch place kids loved dinosaur sound effects...

Good entertainment

Nice museum with library and childrens museum at Rs 15 and 20 Rs

Good place to visit with families and friends... ancient sculpture and preserved animals was awesome and childrens park is good

One of the best museum in chennai. Its placed in chennai central. Not free enter. Buy a ticket.

Lot of renovation work going on as on ¹st marchCan be maintained with more care

This museum has a Attractive artifacts, Amazing sculptures, Old age medival tools, Weapons. Also contains more than 1000 kinds of swords, sheilds, and Arrows. Old musical instruments eye pleasing😍. I cannot believe that how these old age things were brought here... Especially preserved animal section is fascinating 🤩🤩🤩. But museum isnt maintained well🙄🙄🙄... In some place artifacts wasnt visible due to lack of light... Also TN Govt is not caring about the museum... I really disappointed how bad the employees working there are maintaining the important place...😑. One of the Iconic place in Tamil Nadu. Must visit atleast once if you are from other Country or state...

Nice place (Entering fee adult Rs:15/- and Child Rs:-10/-)

Great place to take kids on a holiday ☺️ Its better to go early so you can take your time and check out all the exhibits

Good museum which is started around 1850.Every indian must visit this place to understand our heritage and how westernisation has changed us both in good and bad sense.Needs lot of maintenance. The funds are never used properly in this corrupted nation. As like any citizen of india, we are helpless to think about any reforms.

This museum is located right on main road and easily accessible. There are many section like Anthropology, Numismatics, Childrens Museum, Archaeology, stone/metal statues including one fossilized tree, Art Gallery etc. Maintenance is going on and due to this couple of places are not allowed for visitors as of today 23-03-2019 and this may be completed soon. One need to take care of walking in open sun between buildings. The semi circular Museum Theater in the Museum Campus is very much visible from the Pantheon Road, a rare example of the Indo-Saracenic mode of architecture. The theater was built by the British in the year 1896 in the model of the then Globe Theater in London. Rest rooms and parking space are available. One large children play area is keeping children busy. The cleanliness need to be improved by management. Dogs though passive, visitors need to be aware of. One need to carry hat, sun protection cream, sun glass and drinking water to feel comfortable.

Good place to spend time for history studentsbut some areas are under development

The museums theatre is best for cultural, classical performances

Very vast with good galleries. There are 6 blocks which will take around 2 to 3 hours for watching them all. The 1st one is very wide which contains a large collection of sculptures, fossils etc. The best part is that tje museum is well maintained.If you are someone who has a taste in history then this is a must visit place in chennai. The 6th block contains art works, which is good too.The ticket cost is 15 for Indian citizens.

Exactly Its very nice place to spend holiday with your family

Good presentation of specimens, air-conditioned, with proper explanation.

Best place to visit in Chennai......

Brilliant museum to visit if your a history lover .The place is huge so be prepared to wear comfortable shoes.The only downside the museum is a little noisy .But simply worth the money.
