A closer look
Discover Allahabad Museum
Set within Chandrashekhar Azad Park, Allahabad Museum brings together archaeology, sculpture, paintings and objects connected with modern Indian history. It is a rewarding place to add context to the streets and monuments you explore outside.
The collection includes art from the Bengal School and material associated with figures such as Gandhi and Nehru, alongside the literary heritage of Allahabad. Choose a few galleries to explore slowly rather than trying to rush through everything.
What to look for

- Ask staff about accessible routes, bag storage and photography requirements on arrival.
- Allow more time if you enjoy reading exhibit labels or visiting temporary exhibitions.
