Allahabad Museum, National museum in Civil Lines, Prayagraj, India

The Allahabad Museum features sixteen distinct galleries spread across a large building in Chandrashekhar Azad Park, displaying artifacts, paintings, and historical collections.

Founded in 1931 under Allahabad Municipality supervision, the museum received national importance status in 1986 when the Ministry of Culture took control.

The museum collection includes works from Indian artists like Abanindranath Tagore and Jamini Roy, alongside European painters Nicholas Roerich and Anagarik Govinda.

Located 4 kilometers from Allahabad Railway Junction and 12 kilometers from Bamrauli Airport, the museum opens daily except Mondays from 10 AM to 5:30 PM.

The museum houses the Gandhi Smriti Vahan, the Ford truck that carried Mahatma Gandhi's ashes to Triveni Sangam, and Chandrashekhar Azad's pistol.
