Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum, Archaeological museum in Gwalior, India

The museum displays ancient artifacts and sculptures within the rooms of a medieval palace built from locally quarried sandstone blocks.

King Man Singh Tomar constructed this palace between 1486 and 1516 as a residence for Queen Mrignayani, who came from the village of Mainhar Rai.

The museum houses stone sculptures, bronze statues, Persian inscriptions, terracotta figures, coins, and weapons from the 2nd century BCE through the 17th century CE.

The museum contains 28 exhibition rooms spread across multiple floors, with separate sections dedicated to different historical periods and artifact categories.

A water channel system brought water directly from the Rai River to the palace, as the queen would only drink water from her native village.
