ALBERT HALL MUSEUM, JAIPUR:- In a city of many architectural excesses, the Albert Hall Jaipur is possibly the most decorative and visually stunning. This extravagant gesture by the Maharaja guaranteed the prince’s visit and today the Albert Hall Jaipur has been converted into Albert Hall Museum (Central Museum) that displays relics from Jaipur’s history. The main attraction of the Albert Hall Jaipur is the building itself, with its beautifully elaborate Indo - Saracenic inspired domes and carved arches constructed from inlaid sand stone. The museum does have an extensive collection, the largest in Rajasthan, but the lack of details and descriptions, tired displays and jumbled organisation may deter common visitors.The Albert Hall Jaipur was designed by a British architect, Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, who combined India Islamic architecture with neo-gothic that was fashionable in the Victorian era. This style of architecture is referred to as Indo-Saracenic and the Albert Hall Museum is the finest example in Rajasthan.
