Jaganmohan Palace Art Gallery And Auditorium

Jaganmohan Palace, now home to the Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery, stands as a significant historical landmark in Mysore. Originally constructed as a residence for the royal family, the palace now functions as an art gallery, displaying an impressive array of paintings, including a substantial collection of works by the renowned artist Raja Ravi Varma. Beyond the paintings, the gallery exhibits a diverse range of artifacts that offer insight into the lifestyle and heritage of the Mysore royal family, such as weaponry, musical instruments, intricate ivory carvings, and period furniture. A unique attraction within the palace is an antique French clock featuring a charming hourly miniature soldier parade. While some areas may show signs of age and require maintenance, the palace remains a compelling destination for those interested in art, history, and the cultural legacy of Mysore.
