A must visit if you are on a short trip to the region..Amazingly captures the history of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.There are a ton of exhibitions to watch and read carefully covering a range of Indian history..It is maintained well given there isnt and entry fee.Should be developed into a great place for school kids to visit.

Starts with Great warrior Chatrapati Shivaji Maharajs history continued with other great people who contribute to history of India. Best Place to find history documented in poster form. You would require minimum 2 - 3 hrs to go through.

If you want to learn about Indian history through pictures, this is the place to visit. You will learn about stalwarts like Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Ahilyabai Holkar, and so on. Read about the story of Kashmir and Bengal. Understand the struggles that our predecessors have gone through while India was ruled by Mughals, Portugese, and then the British. Take out some time and pay a visit.You will not be disappointed.Note: Do not expect an entertaining time. Surely an enlightening one!

I am genuinely speechless at the sight of this phenomenal museum that honors the greatest king in all of Indian History 🚩. Shivaji Maharaj is a symbol to all Hindus everywhere in the world, he is an icon amongst icons and too often thanks to the influences of the Indian National Congress, his contributions to Bharat are not always as respected as they should be.This is exactly why this amazing museum by Francois Gautier is so perfect and impactful for our culture, because the presentation and attention to details surrounding the exhibit are impeccable. You literally feel like you’re walking through the history of that era and can see the actions of the Mughals in full display. Shivaji Maharaj is our greatest hero and this is the greatest temple to honor him.As Shivaji Once Said“Never Bend Your Head, Always Hold It High!”We must take pride in our history like how this museum does so well!Jai Shivaji! Jai Maharashtra!Jai Namo! Jai Bharat! 🚩🚩🚩

Review №29

This is fantastic must visit place when you are in Pune. Since it is recently constructed with very low budget it is not like other museums but it is having all the quality of a museum, you may feel like it is not worth from the entrance unless you explore by going inside. Gives enough knowledge on Bharat and India. I request everyone to visit this place.This place deserves our visit

Its not exactly a museum. More of a picture gallery describing the events in and around India from a very old age. But its very nice. Dont be mislead by the small entrance gate, its huge inside. Both area wise as well as content wise. Have plenty of time in hand if you plan to see it in detail. There are places inside where you can sit and enjoy food if you carry it. I am not sure about the availability of drinking water though. Please dont litter. I hate I have to emphasize this...The staff is nice, and there are many nice spots for selfies and photography.

A place which is reviving Hindu King who was righteous , honest to people. People were ready sacrifice their life for Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the Maratha Kingdom.Life of Hindus is picturized in the museum. Every Hindu should visit the Museum. Lets reunite Hindus and make them proud of their humble and brave history.It is a center of inspiration for students, philosophers and guides and historians of Modern India.You can visit in day timings. Take some time out of your life to know your roots.

Historical place.This museum is nice with much history of Maharashtra and Marathas. They have preserved many old monuments nicely and very helpful for future generations to learn the history. It is still another museum not much appealing. If you really are the one who likes to visit all museums then it is worth a visit otherwise you can skip it.

Review №41

Poor content, poorly displayed. No artefacts, so real proof of any of the written material. New paintings of supposed historical moments, but no provenance of why they are historically accurate. Displays are of poor quality flex not even mounted properly. Calligraphic flex boards are hard to read and calligraphh is not even historically attributed to India, so no idea why it is used. Not worth the drive

Review №43

Its a great effort by one french person. He had funded whole musium and mandir. Really commendable.India has only 2 mandir of Chatrapari Shivaji Maharaj. One of them in Pune.They have many halls with pictures. Premise is very well maintained.But this thing is very less visitor.We had discussion with care taker. His concern is only about visitors.They had created different hall for diff characters. Statue of Shivaji and Tulaja Bhavani Mata is lively.Specific significance for eyes on all sides. Must go their and findout.Do viait and tell your friends too.
