To the south of the city is Ram Niwas Garden & Museum. This museum was rechristened as Albert Hall Museum, named after King Albert Edward (Prince of Wales) in early 20th century because its foundation stone was laid in 1876 during his visit. Later, post Independence, the name of Albert Hall was changed to Central Museum. This public garden, spread over an area of 70 acres, has been extended with zoological and ornithological wings. Central museum is located in the garden, exhibiting a vast collection of metalware, ivory carving, jewellery, textile, and pottery in addition to sculptures and paintings from all parts of Rajasthan.
