WELCOME TO THE NIZAM'S MUSEUM
The Nizam’s Museum also known as the Purani Haveli Museum or the Silver Jubilee Museum, Hyderabad, Telangana, India was created at the wish of the seventh/last Nizam of Hyderabad. His rule along with his father’s rule spanned roughly a century from the middle of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century. During these years, the State of Hyderabad saw great development. The progress achieved by all the talented people concerned was celebrated in 1937 when a series of Silver Jubilee celebration functions of his coronation was organized. These celebrations were held on the completion of 25 years of rule of the seventh Nizam.
The Jubilee Pavilion Hall was built specifically for this purpose at the Public Gardens, Hyderabad, Telangana. It consisted of a dais at one end on which the Nizam sat under an ornamental pavilion. Many mementos, models, decorative artifacts, building models, swords, paintings, and Addresses (formal declarations) were gifted to the Nizam then. Apart from these, he kept adding items presented to him later and constituted a Trust called H.E.H. The Nizam’s Jubilee Pavilion Trust to maintain and display this collection.
