Kanpur Sangrahalaya

Kanpur Sangrahalaya is a museum in Phool Bagh that documents the history of the city from ancient times to the present day. The gallery spaces display artifacts, documents, and antiques from various periods of the city's development.

The building was originally constructed as King Edward Memorial Hall during the British colonial period. It first served as a ballroom and military hospital before being converted into a museum in 1999.

The collection displays regional textiles, ornaments, and photographs that reflect the industrial heritage and social development of the city. These objects tell stories of the people who lived and worked here.

Entry is very affordable and the building in Phool Bagh is easy to locate. Visitors should aim for morning or early afternoon hours to get the most from their visit.

An old artillery gun from the colonial period stands among the exhibits and tells the story of the region's military history. This piece silently testifies to the political changes that shaped the city.
