Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum

This is a great experience, takes around hour and half; the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma are awesome, many paintings depicting the portraits of the family members, statues and porcelains and a lot more.
The marble statues of Amazing, the intricate carvings, the ornaments on the statues ; the carpet everything has been carved amazingly well.. you sometime think how they could do it in those times. The expressions are priceless. Go for it - it’s is good. You are not allowed to take pictures and you need to deposit your mobile at the time of entry, but it is worth the experience.

It's a very beautiful place. But not properly maintained by the authority. But you get audio guides which are really helpful and makes you travel to a different world, you migrate to the past and can see everything happening there.

Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum is hidden gem in the heart of Vadodara. While I was little short of time however I could appreciate the vast collection. Located within the sprawling Lakshmi Vilas Palace Estate, the museum showcases art pieces that belong to the illustrious Maratha family. European Renaissance and Rococo paintings, portraits, marble busts, and a collection of portraiture by Raja Ravi Verma (more than 30 original paintings).
After enjoying the museum you would come across scaled down version of the flying scotsman and it happens to be ...in 2023 The original Flying Scotsman in the UK is celebrating its 100th anniversary, unfortunately the museum here was surely not aware of or else they could have done something more to make it special for the visitors. If you're lucky you might be able to catch a glimpse of cricket at local cricket club right next to the museum.

The museum - a pvt collection of the Gaekwad family; erstwhile rulers of Baroda ; is very rare, rich and impressive. The highlight is the 43 paintings by Raja Ravi Verma...just priceless. The artist has drawn situations and people from Hindu Vedas but with a maharashtrian touch - you will see damyanti, janki, etc dressed in maharashtrian attire and jewellery. Don't miss it.

Mobiles, cameras not allowed and need to be deposited at entrance.

A combo ticket along with Laxmi nivas palace will save 25 bucks.

Free parking available. Small cafe with limited options available.

A good place to spend some time, they have some good maratha painting collections and you might learn some of the Gaekwad family history.

The painting are depicted so well and each painting has a story behind it . The crockery are so well maintained and displayed in its best way , you can visualise the various types of pagadi used in Ahmedabad during different time periods you can spend around 30-45 minutes over here .

I had the pleasure of visiting the Maharaj Fatehsingh Museum during my recent trip to Baroda, and I must say it was a truly exceptional experience. The museum's architecture is breathtaking, and the exhibits are exquisite. It was fascinating to learn about the rich history and culture of Baroda through the carefully curated displays.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were well-maintained. The museum's serene atmosphere was an added bonus, making it a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Overall, the Maharaj Fatehsingh Museum is an absolute must-visit for anyone interested in art, history, or culture. I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting Baroda!"

Wow.. whether you are artist or not... but loved the paintings by great indian artist. Ravi Varma. Must watch painting. And if you are art lover, no doubt it's a feast for your eyes. No cellphone or camera allowed

Amazing place. Must visit place in Vadodara.

It was a wonderful experience. 3-4 hours well spent. Huge collections and the audio assisted tour is very well written and conducted to explain the story behind every exhibit.

Wonderfully maintained palace. An audio guided tour of the palace as default makes the experience an even better tour

This is the largest Raja Ravi Verma painting collection we've seen... not many people visit this place but if you're in vadodara, please do make time. Also, the combo ticket is available at laxmi vilas palace. There is a toy train that the king bought for his son's school, world's smallest steam locomotive - spot it bang opposite the museum 😀

Pro tip: spend most of the time at the Ravi Verma paintings and skim through rest. There are many copies, read carefully and don't spend much time. Pretty large collection, save yourself from fatigue 😜

This place has a good collection of paintings and architecture.
If you are coming to visit Laxmi Vilas palace then you can also visit this museum. It is just 1 km away from the main entrance gate of Laxmi Vilas palace
