Albert Hall Museum

Jaipur is known as the "Pink City" because in 1876, the then King Ram Singh of Jaipur ordered the entire building to be renovated in order to welcome Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who liked pink. Cities are painted pink. Albert Hall was also built to welcome the Prince of Wales' visit and is now the location of the Central Museum. Designed by Sir Swinton Jacobs, Albert Hall is a fusion of British and North Indian architectural styles. After its unveiling in 1887, it became the pride of New Jaipur. The central museum in the hall has some interesting exhibits: tribal costumes, yoga models in different poses, diorama, puppets, carpets, and musical instruments.
