How to plan a family outing in Old Pune: Shaniwar Peth & the historic centre

Use this area as a planning base for Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum. Choose one main visit and check its current admission, opening and any booking requirements before travelling.

Getting here & getting around

Use the exact address and directions on the selected venue page. Places grouped in one area do not necessarily share an entrance, ticket or walkable connection.

A day at family pace

Start with one of the checked options: Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum. Allow time for arrival and a break; add another place only if the family still has time and energy.

If the weather changes

Choose the selected venue’s indoor or outdoor format to suit the weather. Outdoor routes and gate access still need a same-day check.

Museums & discovery

Old Pune: Shaniwar Peth & the historic centre

Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum

Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum makes everyday objects extraordinary: cooking tools, lamps, carved doors and musical instruments reveal the skill behind ordinary life. For families, the best route follows a few familiar activities—making food, lighting a room and making music—before the recreated Mastani Mahal. This is a dense collection in an older multi-level building, so selective looking is more rewarding than trying to read every case. Admission is paid, with child and foreign-visitor categories.
