Review:
Salar Jung III devoted forty years of his life to the accumulation of Asian, Far Eastern and European art and artifacts. In 1951, subsequent generations established a museum in the family's ancient palace. In 1958, the entire collection and a library, containing rare manuscripts, were donated to the state for posterity. They were each declared Institutions of National Importance in 1961 and seven years later were moved to a custom-built complex. This was expanded in 2000. Among the artifacts at the Salar Jung Museum are Roman statues, ivory chairs received from France, miniature paintings from India and a jewel-encrusted dagger and fruit knife.
