He had built this museum in the remembrance of his son, who died at young age of seven. However, currently only 25,000 of the items are on display for public.

Its a beautiful museum. From outside it looks like a small museum. When they charge Rs. 60 per person we were shocked they Why so costly for small museum but it is in 3 floors and so many beautiful things to learn about history and their life style. You will spend almost 2 hours in this museum only. Surely visit this place. Its worth.

Best place for old things

Stellar collection. Youd never know its size from the street. Jam-packed - plan on lots of time, especially if you know something about local history. One key place this museum could improve is in the lack of interpretive information. I got a lot out of it because I was there with a local friend who was extremely well-informed. But on your own, its just a large collection of beautiful objects. Maybe a rental audio guide, more plaques, etc. Maybe even an identifiable docent on each floor? Really do take the time. Youll be happy you did.

I was gone there in the month of February 2020.Seriously Amazing museum, Total 2 hours 30 mins we spend over there. It was a lovely experience & time well spent over there..

A museum that started from a private collection. A must-see in Pune. It is an absolutely mind-blowing experience that blends History, Geography, Politics, Arts, Cultural Anthropology, Music, Theatre, Religion and so much more. A museum that is second to none in its scope.

If People like to see old traditional preserved things of all kinds, they must visit here. It takes atleast 2hrs to cover all floors where collection of old things are kept in good condition. Drinking water and washroom facility are there. Museum timing is 10AM to 6 PM but entry is allowed till 5:30pm only.Ticket charge per person is ₹80/-. If anyone need to click pics, its chargeable.Parking place not there.

A great place and awesome collection. Cultural heritage of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan!!

A great place to visit in the middle of the city. If you are an art lover, you will like this place. Staffs are supportive and it costs us ₹60 per head.

Only then you can click photos inside museum.Musical instrumentsThe door framesVesselsOrnamentsDifferent paintingsMastani MahalN many more.

This collection is surprisingly awesome for a museum with such a low key feel. The items are varied, interesting, and in some cases truly stunning. I definitely felt that the extra 100 rs for a mobile phone photo pass was worth it, as there were so many cool things to capture.Definitely recommend if you are interested in visiting a museum while in Pune.

Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum is an important museum in Pune. Mr. Kelkar and Mrs. Kelkar spent there entire life to collecting items for the museum. The museum has almost all the objects related to Indian culture. Walking around the museum, it feels as if we are meeting ancient Indian culture. I love this museum. I request everyone to visit Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum.

Truly an awesome place. Must visit. They have exquisite collections for various things. Thee things that you have never seen. I would visit again without any doubt.

Wonderful museum. Well maintained. Nice place for spending quality family time for 1hr 30 mins. This museum has a lot of wonderful ancient items that I havent seen anywhere.

No parking is available for 4wheeler. A little cramped parking is available for 2 wheelers, which can accommodate around 8-10 vehicles and its free. Better avoid 4 wheeler if you want to visit.

Awesome collection of the things from good old days. Felt very nice after visiting this place. A perfect place to bring kids here. It may take upto 3 hrs to view all the museum. Overall nice experience.

Its a wonderful museum that has so many articles preserved.Cultural heritage of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan are enhanced.A great spot for people who are interested in archeology, history, art or culture

It was nice Musuem, Nice Collection of Ancient Item, well cleaniness, Every Floor shows you different Ancient Era, Everybody has to visit

Its really a good place to visit with family... I like the museum very much...clean n peaceful place

It is one of the best museum place for seeing anicient (very very old) things.

Astonishing collection by late Dr. Dinkar Kelkar.Need to enter in narrow lane to locate museum.Not easily visible in traffic.Difficult to find parking as parking area of museum is very limited.Ticket charges are 50 Rs. and camera charges are from 100 to 500 Rs.Museum is very nicely design.

Absolutely fantastic. One of the most engaging museums Iv ever seen. I’m based in London and have visited several museums in UK and rest of Europe but Kelkar Museum kept me very engaged and interested. The only cleanest museum in India where it felt the care about maintenance.Super impressed.

Really worth museum... must visit.. hard work By kelkar sir for 20k Heritage.

Best place to visit.. historical place ever visited

A must visit place. A museum arranged in a well manner with a lot of heritage arts to see. A lot of best history can be known from here

It was really beautiful and completely worth visiting at least once. Id suggest you get the permission to click photos because you wont be able to resist as you explore further. Its very decorative and stunning. The creativity and their love for designing every material is jaw dropping.

Situated in a nondescript by lane with only a small board on Bajirao road being a clue to its existence. Until you enter the building you have no clue of what is going to hit you. From the first step you are immediately transferred into history sampling our shared culture one century at a time.To understand our selves and our culture, it is essential that we look into at all facets of the daily life of days gone by.The intricately carved archways, posts, windows and doors give you a vista into the architecture. The lamps and lighting section is also fascinatingThe floor with kitchen items give a glimpse to the food and processes they adopted to produce culinary delights. The variety of implements used is fascinating. Detailing down to scoops, ladles and measures even tell us of the appetite of our forefathers.The Textile floor has sarees, robes with real zaris, there is also a collection of headgear. Eyeopener to fashion of the bygone days.from here you go to a floor full or war paraphernalia, swords, daggers, spears, arrows, dand-pattas, coats of armour, shields and helmets to early firearms!Kaka Kelkar collected an astounding 25,000 pieces of antiquities though only a fraction will be on display at any given time. On my earlier visit decades ago they had far more items on display, now they have fewer but displayed better in my opinion.All in a all a great place to visit, especially with your children.

Must visit ! Simply awesome...1 single persons life collection of sculptures historical and projects Indias rich culture

Good place to visit with family, kids nd frnds, entry free 60 per person, camera fee 100, parking available, 20 mins distance from pune railway station. Full paisa asul😀👍

This museum is one of the best museum of India . Situated at the Bajirao road , Sukhrawar peth , Pune . This place is a better source of information for the students of History and Archeology . The museum is famous for Mastani Mahal , which is related to Mastani (Bajiraos love).

Mini museum,Located in the Heart of the old Poona, The collection of artefacts is amazing as it is part of one mans collection now it houses collection of some other people also.Vintage guns, swords, intricate designs on ivory objects, chess board, sandalwood objects ,betel boxes, vintage lamps are special attractions of the museum.It also houses a musical instruments house, and also Mastani Mahal.Dont forget to take with you an object from souvenirss shop.The ideal time to tour the museum is 2+ hours for connoisseurs.

One of the best museums I have seen. A must visit for all Pune visitors.

250 rupees for foreign visitors + 100 for using camera. Most of the items are from 18th-19th centuries. Older ones (there were a few of 13th century) are placed in hard to spot places. 1h is enough to spend there.

The collection of coins and artifacts from centuries ago. Preserving the history and integrity of ancient India. If you are here go see this place you wont be disappointed.( there is an entry fee and camera charges).

It is a great place to visit if u have a little taste in history.... Every item is properly arranged and well preserved

One of the well maintain museum with daily use item of Raja Dinkar Kelkar. Although museum is close now days due to lockdown.

Great place, where you can find lots of heritage things. Lots of old culture proofs.Great place near by Pune railway station. You can spend 2-3 hours happily.

The museum comprises of some personal collections donated by their respective owners. Mostly the artifacts are from 17th - 19th century and display the lifestyle of Maharashtra, Karnataka and other southern states. Some (very few) of the artifacts however, seem artificial and modern but blend in nicely.There are galleries for clothes, cosmetics, ivory items, musical instruments etc.Entry tickets are Rs 50 per head (camera charges extra). It took around 3 hours to completely explore and admire the collection.There was some renovation work going on when we visited. Its nice to see the efforts being made towards the preservation of the artifacts and the betterment of the museum as a whole.

3stars for amazing collection. No parking available. Location is in narrow lane. Avoid driving ur own car. Better to visit by renting a cab.

This place tells alot about our rich history in culture, music, clothing and what not! Its a must-see place according to me!

Its a worthy Raja Meusem visit.Its admired for its collection of everything pertaining to the marathas.Its 3 floors, and you are adviced to visit the 2nd floor last for textile purchase.What is more fascinating and something that I admire more is the architecture of the meusem on the outside.Its appeal is more welcoming thst the interior.Overall, not much of a worthy visit for a price of Rs. 50, photography charges additional and exclusive.

Nice to visit over here it is very good place to know ancient history of Pune, Maharashtra

Must visit museum, located in the heart of Pune. Cant believe this is collected by one passionate man alone. Can spend 2 hours easily. Open everyday, do visit.I was awestruck seeing cooking utensils n the varieties in it.
