Default Central museum & Jaipur zoo

Central museum & Jaipur zoo : From Tripoliya gate near Hawa Mahal, a road leads to Ram Niwas garden and the government Central museum (Albert Hall). The Central museum is worth a visit and is built in white marble. It was built in Indo-saracenic style by Sir Samuel Swinton
Jacob. The museum exhibits include metalware collection, glazed pottery, 9 m long phad (painted cloth scroll), miniature paintings and world's largest Persian garden carpet (dating from 1632).

Jaipur zoo is nearby (Rs 10, animal and a separate bird section). The Museum of Indology, Moti Dungri fort (closed) and Birla mandir (Lakshmi Narayan temple in white marble) are nearby. There is direct bus to Railway station from Ram Niwas garden.
