About About the place

The Lucknow State Museum, established in 1863, is one of the oldest and largest multipurpose museums in Uttar Pradesh. Initially focused on Awadh arts and objects, its collection has expanded to encompass a wide variety of historical artifacts from across North India, including sculptures, paintings, woodworks, and a unique Egyptian gallery featuring a mummy. The museum's location within the Lucknow Zoo requires visitors to purchase zoo entry tickets in addition to the museum's entry fee. While the collection is extensive, upkeep and presentation are areas needing improvement.

Best for

History enthusiasts, particularly those interested in ancient Indian art and artifacts, and those with a specific interest in the Egyptian collection. It may also appeal to visitors who are already planning a trip to the Lucknow Zoo.

Best season

The cooler months (October to March) are the most pleasant time to visit Lucknow.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Weekdays mornings are recommended to avoid crowds.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.
