Himachal State Museum and Library

I felt as this was the State Museum, I would ignore Paolo Coelho´s travel advise and visit this state showpiece.

The museum boasts an impressive collection of a variety of stuff including weapons, embroidery, jewellery, temple carvings, brass statues, etc. from the region set in several rooms on two floors.

Coins, dolls and stamp collection, don´t really do it for me, but I particularly enjoyed the wall relief, wall paintings and Mogul miniatures.

The museum is open from 10am every day apart from Mondays when it is closed. It lies west from Scandal Point along the Mall. Admission for foreigners is Rp50 with a very hefty Rp100 for cameras.
