Shreyas Folk Museum - Museum in Ahmedabad - Ahmadabad, India

A good place to see and spend quality time both for locals and travellers alike. Kids shall enjoy too. Must keep in mind- Visit hours 9 am to 12 pm. Sunday closed. Faced similar situation, still a walk around and getting acquainted with facilities and events being held here was quite enriching. Minor entry fee of rs 100 for visit to 2 museums and 50 for kids. One museum for kids and another for all ages. Have your own experience. Enjoy.

It's a nice museum as these pictures are from outside . They won't allow you to take the pictures from inside Ticket is Rs100 per person . And you have 3 places to see . One is a folk museum , others are the culture and photography . Their people are friendly but more of insecure .

No idea how good the place is. But this review is about the staff who man the enquiry phone line. The museum itself might be fantastic but the attitude of the person who answered the phone was not. Very unwelcoming attitude. Because I did not ask if the museum is open but instead asked are you open for visiting, the response was curt and was a no and the phone was slammed down. Since they seem to share the number with the foundation ( of which museum was a part - which.i learned subsequently), the answer was technically not wrong, but then it was neither welcoming, right? So I decided to give it a miss and went elsewhere. Wonder people who have no patience and who don't know how to communicate are kept as the face of the organisation?

Nice collection..... Huge campus.......well maintained....... Guides are very co-operative... Excellent collection of coins, skeletons....... It reflects culture of Saurashtra and Kutch..... Nice effort...... Cultural activities are too good...... They have done 136 fairs on different types of culture...... You must visit........... Nature, greenery too good.....

Loved it for its open spaces and seeing how peacocks roam around fearlessly and securely as if they own the place! Big trees. Great collection of speciality things from places personally visited. Be it Indian or foreign. Ranging from dolls from all over the world to clothes and utensils from rustic villages of Gujarat... Everything is well preserved. The staff could be gentler with the kids though when they accidentally touch the glass window. Come on, it can be cleaned right?! No chair/benches inside the campus though. Difficult for eldery visitors.

Good collection. Its private museum u may go. The ticket is 500 rs. It has collection of gujrati traditional clothes as well from other states of india. It has toy section also from various states of india. Original skelton of elephant.

Also known as the Sardar Sangralaya, this museum was established in 1889, and the collection represents the rich history and eclectic ethnic mix of Surat. It also provides maps for travelers.

The Planetarium runs a show on the universe, in Gujarati, from 11:15am -1:45pm, Wednesday-Saturday and from 2:45pm-5:45pm, Sunday and Tuesday. It is closed on Monday. How to get there By road: Surat lies 234 km from Ahmedabad, 131km from Vadodara, and 297 km from Mumbai. Bus stations, both ST and private, are on the eastern edge of the city. By rail: Train stations are also on the eastern edge of the city. By air: Various domestic flights connecting metros and other major cities are operational from the Surat Airport.

More about the recent history..but still most of the items can still be found in villages of saurashtra kutchh... But very nice collection... It would be more great if they add label near each item...
