The museum is laid out much in the manner of other musea in India: priceless artefacts presented with a mix of care and abandon. Hunting exploits of the Chatrapatis dominate. The durbar hall isnt quite as impressive as it is probably intended to be. Featured in an utterly non-descript way in exhibits that are a pointer to the sporting feats of the Kolhapur princely state is a certain VS Hazare (for cricket fans).A major downside is that the staff are utterly rude to all visitors and while one can make a concession for such an attitude being engendered by thoughtless tourists, it still doesnt justify uniform bullying and shepherding.All this is compensated for by a truly magnificent specimen of Indo-Saracenic architecture built in black, polished stone complete with onion domes and domed chhatris. This is housed in a garden that is home to a bevy of peacocks that make their presence felt with screams. It made for a wonderful sight during the rains in July when we were there.

Laxmi Vilas Palace is birth place of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur. He was the first Maharaja of Kolhapur. He was born to Ghatge family and was adopted by royal family. This place is recently renovated by State archaeology department. Also you can see various archaeological remains and artefacts and stone edicts.There is small replica of Radhanagari Dam here for visitors to see.But unfortunately the place is vacant from inside. Just few large life size paintings. Thats why I have given 3 stars. Government needs to put lots of efforts to make this place a happening one.

Cool place to hangout, Relax or studying, you may see monkeys, squirells, cats, different types of butterflies, honey bees, various kinds of birds also kingfisher bird if you are lucky, kingfishers are often spotted during summer days, you can also see trees surrounding the place which adds to the beauty of the garden.From one side it is surrounded by farms so the atmosphere there is not crowdy its cool and the air flow is also cool nice place to relax.Apart from natures beauty there are exciting things to know about Shri. Shahu Maharaj and a small museum and also some information and there are few guides who explain you about the facts and information about Shri. Shahu Maharaj.You can also wander in the garden there are stone statues where you can pose for a picture or two.So visit this place to experience the natures beauty!
