Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum, Aurangabad. - Museum in Aurangabad - Aurangabad, India

It's an awesome experience, Curator, S.R.Magre of Museum Department is a Knowledgeable person. Who helped us in exploring in each and every corner of museum...!

The COIN COLLECTION here is just AWESOME . A great resourse place for Numismatics . The outside of the building looks grand , but inside , not well maintained, needs regular cleaning . Photography inside is prohibited .

Ticket is very minimum. Around museum around beautiful garden. Inside no photography. Ancient coins main attraction of this museum. Lots of ancient weapon.

A big part of history can be visualised here, but it's not well kept. First the good parts, tickets are reasonable for all visitors (5 Rupees per adult). Good collection of items from various eras, some are as old as 230 BC. Weapons, coins, art and utility items are main parts of the collection. Now for things to improve, the building is old and not well lit. Not well lit so you cannot read well on the artifacts. Coins are placed in a way that it mentions the eras but fails to give idea on value of it and the metals used. I hope the state govt. takes some steps to make the display well lit so people can read and understand it. Unfortunately photos were not allowed hence, I cannot add them in this review.

Its a good place to visually see the history and the collection of various historic things, like coins, war equipment, daily life utensils, royal palace instruments, copy of paintings, and others. If you read and understand how these things had an impact in those times, also it has easy access as per location. Pro's: 1. Good collection of coins, war equipment, daily life utensils, others 2. Dedicated rooms for separate collections of things. 3. You can spend good time exploring history here. 4. Not many people knows about so it's a peaceful place to visit (for now) 5. Easy access for location, inside city. 6. Good place for kids to learn about history, visually and if you can convey some facts that's awesome for kids. 7. Kids find it fascinating how these things were used in those days. 8. Good place to sit out in the lawn, can be made better though. 9. Negligible fees for entry, (free of cost almost). Cons: 1. Need maintenance. 2. All collection can be arranged in better and presentable way. 3. No food court, which must be introduced as kids like to take break in between if we see everything in detail. 4. Ventilation can be improved. 5. Parking space can be made better. 6. Illumination of the room can improve the visual presentation and also colour of light and walls paint matters. Above are my personal reviews and may differ to person to person. We had visited this place with different school kids and made them understand about this history and made them feel the moment of history. There are many things I had not mentioned here as there are many things to see if you are that curious and interested in history.

One of the Best places to visit in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. The coin collection is very good. Entry free is 10 per person.

At a distance of 5.5 km from Aurangabad railway station, Chhatrapati Shivaji museum is located near Nehru Bal udyan in Aurangabad. The museum is dedicated to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj the great Maratha ruler. The exhibits on display tell stories of glorious reign of the brave King showcase in six galleries. The display comprises Maratha war weapons and other artefacts from the battlefield of some of the most popular wars that the Marathas fought. Inside of the museum photography is prohibited. Maintenance of this museum is not good . Paint on the walls are not good.Roofs also in bad condition. Washrooms are very dirty. Management should take care of this and should take firm actions

Place is very good. Historical weapons etc of maratha state are shown but no body was there to help you. 1500 AD drowning of Lord krishan ,Hunaman and other and also I seen kundali of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. All types of coins from ancient time to present time were shown. It opens at 10:30 but we have to wait till 10:45 to get tickets.
