Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum

The Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum, also known as the State Archaeological Museum and sometimes called the Gwalior Fort Museum, is a state museum in Gwalior, nearby the Gwalior Fort. It was built by Tomar Rajput king Man Singh Tomar of Gwalior for his Gurjari wife, as she demanded a separate palace and refused to live with his other Rajput wives who looked down on her.
