Victoria Jubilee Museum MUSEUM (MG Rd; admission Indian/foreigner 20/100, camera 3; h10.30am-5pm Sat-Thu) The best part of this museum is the building itself, built in 1887 to honour Queen Victoria s coronation jubilee. In 1921 it hosted the Congress states capitals map meeting

HEH the Nizam s Museum MUSEUM (Purani Haveli; Map p900; adult/student 70/15, states capitals map camera 150; h10am-5pm Sat-Thu) The 16th-century Purani Haveli was home of the sixth nizam, Fath Jang Mahbub Ali Khan (r 1869 1911), rumoured to have never worn the same garment twice. His 72m-long, two-storey Burmese teak wardrobe, the first room you ll enter, certainly seems to substantiate the claim. In the palace s former servants quarters are personal effects of the seventh nizam, Osman Ali Khan (1886 1967) and gifts from his Silver Jubilee, lavish pieces that include an art deco silver letterbox collection. The museum s guides do an excellent job putting it all in context.

Just west of the bridge is the spectacular Osmania General Hospital (Map p900), on the north side, and, on the south, states capitals map the High Court (Map p900) and Government City College (Map p900), all built under the seventh nizam in the Indo-Saracenic style.
