Completed in the same year as the Hospital, this complex presents a novel blend of disparate features in contrasting basalt and sandstone.

The principal south facade presents a double-storeyed range, with Neo-Mughal lobed arches beneath and temple-like columns and brackets above.

It is dedicated to a fine collection of possessions of Chhatrapatis of Kolhapur like costumes, weapons, games, jewellery, embroidery and paraphernalia such as silver elephant saddles.

The side walls display lobed arches filled with stained glass illustrating scenes from the life of Shivaji; carved columns with temple-like brackets support the cast iron balcony above.

Photos include one of the Maharaja with his hundredth dead tiger, elephant hunts and a series detailing how to train a cheetah.
