Nizam's Museum (Purani Haveli)
నిజాం మ్యూజియం
Housed in Purani Haveli, the old palace of the Nizams, this museum displays silver jubilee gifts received by the last Nizam, along with a wooden wardrobe said to be more than 100 metres long.
Purani Haveli was the old palace of the Nizams, about 1 km northeast of Charminar. The museum displays gifts received by the Seventh Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, for his silver jubilee in 1936: gold and silver models, jewel-studded daggers, silverware and photographs. It also includes a two-storey hand-cranked wooden wardrobe said to be the longest in the world. The displays are rather plain, making the museum best suited to those interested in Nizam history. Combine it with the Salar Jung Museum and Charminar for a one-day tour of the old city. Closed on Fridays.
