Bharatpur is an ancient city of eastern Rajasthan. Its history dates from the era of the great Indian epic Mahabharata (approximately 1500 BC). But more interestingly, Bharatpur was the only kingdom in Rajasthan that was ruled by the Jats, the peasant stock of Haryana.Museum located in the centre of the famous Lohagarh Fort, the Bharatpur Museum houses a large collection of archaeological wealth from the nearby areas. The huge palatial building Kachahari Kalan, once the administrative block of the rulers of Bharatpur state, was converted into a Museum in 1944. The Kamra Khas (personal chamber) building on the first floor was later added to the museum. It exhibits sculptures found during the excavation of old villages e.g. Noh, Mailah, Bareh, Bayana etc. ranging from the Kuslian period. Timings : 10:00 AM To 4:30 PM
