The Albert Hall Museum, also called the Government Central Museum, is the oldest museum in Rajasthan. Designed by Colonel Samuel Swinton Jacob in the Indo-Saracenic style, its foundation stone was laid in 1876 during the visit of the Prince of Wales (Albert Edward), and it opened as a museum in 1887.

It stands in Ram Niwas Garden just outside the old walled city and holds collections of miniature paintings, carpets, armour, pottery, sculpture and an Egyptian mummy.
