Mohatta Palace in Talhār

Mohatta Palace in Clifton , Karachi has turned into a Museum . The entire building looks pretty good , the structure is old but it is renovated with great care . They organize art exhibitions here occasionally .

Its a wonderful place for a taste of a little history. The curators can surely work on getting a little more substance to their tour. For now, private exhibitions are on display but I would love to see a little grandeur the palace has the potential of. There are areas being preserved/restored/rebuilt. Im sure it will be one of the many iconic sights the city of Karachi has to offer.

Well managed. Hygiene at its peak. Well coordinated staff. Beautiful gardens, water fountain was running and the lush greenery really caught the sight. And the mighty Palace its wonderful , really one of the architectural spectacular master peice existing in this era. But the one thing which was missing that it should also contain some history regarding the onwners who made this place.

A great historic value. Must visit. Although the renovations and preservations are turning it more into a modern building but still well maintained.The events being conducted there ofter prevent visitors from visiting the museum.

Mohatta Palace takes you back to a royal time. We toured the palace and it was a great historical experience. Exhibits change every so often.Built in the early 1900s. Beautiful architecture. It was originally as a residence but now houses an art gallery and museum.Cameras are not allowed inside the palace only in the grounds. Entrance fees payable, yes a higher rate for foreigners.Rather small museum but highly professional arranged with proper airconditioning and the building itself is an artifact of the museum.There is a small gift shop inside as well.The site is very well maintained.

Beautiful place the ancient discoveries are thier ticket is in 30rupees mobile phone and camera are not allowed inside the palace but you can capture pictures in outside the palace in the play ground

Exhibition on colours of rainbow.It was all about women fashion in ancient civilization, Gandhara. Sorry no pics of exhibition as it was not allowed, though I think it should.

Art, architecture and culture come to play at this 20th-century palace built by a Hindu Prince in 1925. Used today as an art gallery and museum, there are always thought-provoking exhibitions happening at this grand building surrounded by trees and Renaissance-style statues. The Rajasthani-style design of this structure is a sight to behold.

Historic Mohata Palace (Museumis one of the must visit place in Karachi, Sindh.

Nice place to kill time... mobile and camera is not allowed....you cant take pics ...I dont know why ??

Should have some food and drink no one is in palace and outside the palace only architecture of this building is owsome otherwise its just a ordinary park and staff is very nonsense.

Near the seashores of Karachi, there is a mesmeric building, which always captures attention of people visiting sea view. Just across the street of Karachi’s Famous Shrine of Sufi Saint Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi, there is a pink Anglo Mughal style building known as #Mohatta Palace #Karachi.

Iconic museum and a must-do for anyone visiting Karachi. The museum regularly changes its exhibitions to there is always something new to experience and the building itself is a visual treat.

Located in Clifton Karachi, Pakistan. A Hindu Marwari businessman built it in 1927 for his summer home of Mohatta, from what is now the modern-day Indian state of Rajasthan.The entry fee is very minimal and there is a museum inside in this to see the history. A must-do thing when you are in Karachi.

The Mohatta Palace is a museum located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Designed by Muhammad komail Hussain, the palace was built in 1927 in the posh seaside locale of Clifton as the summer home of Shivratan Mohatta, a Hindu Marwari businessman from what is now the modern-day Indian state of Rajasthan.

Went at the opening time 11 am on Sunday. There wasnt anyone earlier so no queue to buy the ticket which was Rs.50 per person. Did some outside photography and while entering into the palace itself, the cameras and cell phone was collected by the staff as photography wasnt allowed inside the palace .There is an exhibition sort of environment inside the palace which seems very out of the place. Usually these kind of palaces are preserved with the inventory used by the incumbent but instead it showed cultural artifacts placed on the walls. There was a small section to display 5 or 6 archeological pieces of Gandhara. Overall it was a 15 minutes watch other than the outside photography.

A beautiful.peice of architecture. Building is well maintained with beautiful lawns. Most of the interior is also very well preserved except few ceilings which are just white washed. There are certain galleries bur artifacts are few in number. Three or four paintings of Sadqain, a few artifacts from Gandhaea civilization which include a beautiful statue of budha. A gallary contains beautiful collection of science related photographs showing microscopic organisms. Some of them are stunning. Photography inside is prohibited. There is a gift shop in the museum having limited but good variety. Parking is not avilable onsite.

Found great place for visiting and knowing the cultural costumes of Sindh, available for visitors.Also the constructional work is very inspiring. The palace has very vast park for visiting and sitting on park. Auditorium is also available for arranging the programs. Small zoo can also be visited. Overall I found it great. Everyone must visit the place. The administration is also offering low cost entry to school children for study tours.

Impressive building. Cameras not allowed inside. Can use mobile phones for photo in Lawn

A lovely and well maintained place to spend some quality time. Specially for kids; its a nice and easily reachable place to show them some bits of countrys history heritage. Definitely recommend place for photography.

Mohatta Palace is One of the most visited Places of Sindh. I was there with a group of tourists who were exploring Karachi with a local tour Company.We reached there at 11 am , which was the best time to visit in hot summers of Karachi. The Megastic palace built in the start of 20th Century for residence of a Businessman Shivratan Mohatta.Photography is not allowed inside Palace & Muesum, but visitors can take photos from outside. The Palaces outer side & ground floor is ♿ Accessibility-friendly.

A beautiful place to visit, youd love it if you have a keen interest in apparels and textiles.The garden outside is serene and clean. Youd love to sit and enjoy the serenity.

4th Corporate Aalmi Mushaira was held last night on March 19, 2022, at Mohatta Palace Museum. Meer Ahmed Naveed, Amjad Islam Amjad, and Iftikhar Arif were some of the prominent poets who graced the event.Mohatta Palace is a magnificent pre colonial era Palace and one of the most popular landmarks of Karachi

It is a well maintained historical place in excellent condition. In this Palace hand embroidery work of different communities and areas of Sindh is on display. It is a usual venue for art and crafts exhibitions. It is highly recommended for ladies having an interest in traditional handicrafts.

I really cant believe that the sindh government can keep a place like a Palace .Nice historical place,very neat n clean. Entry ticket is only Rs:30/= for adults,nothing for kids. The wash room was clean, too.They should display the history of the place on a proper space.

I have to write a review about this palace simply because it deserves all the hype. Firstly, it is the summer home of Pakistans founder Mohammed Ali Jinnah. The amount of detail in this mansion and one can only imagine what his life must have been like living in it with a beautiful lawn. Present day 2022, I came to visit the now museum which was in excellent condition, well maintained lawn, educated and knowledged museum staff and caretakers. The exhibition itself was well put together with plenty of information and truly gave justice to Pakistan. The tour ended with a gift shop carrying local Pakistani items and the proceeds go to the museum. Please come visit as it is crucial to keep our history alive for generations to come.

Mohatta Palace Museum is one of the oldest buildings of Karachi. Its few of the only building which have been maintained. Its a must see palace to see till it stand.

Such a great architecture and beautiful heritage museum. The palace has large rooms for now use for entertainment and exhibition. Well maintained garden as well. Must visit place in Karachi.

Pretty exceptional place in karachi , beautiful architecture with lush green outside and plantation. Inside u get to see art collection of different artist in different times . Must visit place in karachi with family for suree

Excellent place to visit. Very well maintained and exhibition and museum inside are top notch too. It’s closed on Mondays and entry is Rs. 30 only. Can’t take mobile or camera inside the palace which I didn’t like at all. Overall a wonderful place to visit and admire the architecture and culture of the bygone era

Great place to meet friends. In better weather, you can chill in the garden. Inside, the guides are helpful, the gift shop is cute, exhibitions are interesting enough to take up an hour.

Mohatta Palace was a residence of a Hindu Merchant from Gujrat who used to stay there in summer before the creation of Pakistan. Now it has been converted into a museum worth visiting.It has historical significance given that the structure is beautifully designed and well maintained. It exhibits many cultural, historical and social events and artifacts.Today, old devices such as Projector, video cameras and old films from 50s, 60s and 70s were in display. It was such a joy. The palace is a jewel in the crown of Karachi.

It says "Mohatta Palace Museum" everywhere and it certainly is NOT! And it should explicitly state that. I was expecting a museum and history but there was none! Its an art gallery. Whoa! Such disappintment.

It was pending since long to visit this building , when I read about in detail then I came to know whatever you want or do , it goes like what Allah wants .What a architecture it is and how lovely they made it but they could used it for just 20 years, then they had to left after partition.Nice structure, artwork, neat n clean.... must visit.Entry fee is just Rs 30 per person and u can enjoy peaceful environment.

Amazing place to visit in Karachi...superb atmosphere outside of place...while closing for public but i have upload some photos to aware u..the art of hal-bevan,..gifts shop supports artisans...traditional masters craftmen were very skilled and designed many no of art piece...happy to see all of this...absolutely lovely

Love this place. Often visit this place for peaceful evening. You can witness Pakistan’s Tallest Building “Icon Towers” on its periphery. Anglo Mughal vs Modern architecture.Ticket Rs.30Timings: 1100 am to 0600 pm Monday closed.No Mobile inside the museum but allowed in lawn.Sindh Govt set up a beautiful culture rich museum.

The palace is beautiful, great work of architect . Constructed on Anglo Mughlia style, have beautiful stone carvings on walls, lovely work on the roof, inside the building. It well preserved and taken care off by relevant government department.You are not allowed to take your cellphones inside so you cannot take pictures inside the building, i asked why and got a reply its decided by board of directors, thats it. This is strange as we can take pictures inside national museum but not here. There is nothing inside except traditional cultural clothes on display. Upper portion was closed because of "renovation".Still its a beautiful place to visit and see the great architecture.

Lovely place to visit. Its peaceful and clean environment enchanted me so much. But I couldnt see proper objects of museum from inside because it was under improvement process. But still I enjoyed this beautiful place.

-Amazing Palace. 😍-Reached today at 5:30pm with beautiful sunset 🌇-Entrance charges: 30/--When I entered, really its beautiful. Amazing Palace with four minars looks so nice 🙂 I dont wait to capture the pictures.-Inside Palace no pictures allowed.-Inside Palace current traditional dresses hang on the wall, include all province tradition.

Very well preserved building. Looks absolutely beautiful. The exhibitions held inside are also very good and interesting. The 1st floor was being repaired and hence could not go upstairs.

Mohatta Palace is located near Zamzama Blvd defence and close to Abdullah Shah Ghazi mazar. Well mentioned pretty palace offers sub continental history and locally handicraft traditionally colorful clothes are well exhibited in different Hall ways. A gift shop offers hand crafted locally made souvenirs well diversified from all across Pakistan. I did not see surveillance Cameras inside the building. Also there are two many employees working. I guess it’s ok since it’s maintained by government body. I highly suggest local residence of Karachi to visit Mohatta Palace and talk about it so that people from other part of Pakistan and overseas will also visit such a historical place which is well kept. Admission ticket is only rupees 30

Mohatta Palace has a very different and slightly modern kind of architecture. It is very well maintained and surrounded by lush green gardens. The designs on roofs and simple wooden doors and windows are unique. You cannot take your phone inside. This place was open on sunday also. I went around 1pm and no rush/crowed is found during that time. There are peacocks and parakeets in small area also. Moreover, the gardens are very neat. Wearing masks is must. Wheel chair can be a problem. Its more of an cloths and cultural art gallery now. You will not see excat identification of rooms and usage of palace story around that is the bug downside of palace visit. There is small gift and sovineer shop where you can buy beautiful traditional jewlery, decorations, stationary and truck art stuff.

The astounding majesty and sheer beauty of this palace of supreme wonder, combined with the spices of history and romance associated with it, made me gladly spend 30 rupees to buy entrance ticket. Though I wasnt allowed to bring my phone inside the museum so I only took pictures of the outer walls of this building.

A must see historic landmark in Karachi. The place is nice to visit with family n children. Its a museum but does not host its own artifacts. This Palace is used as an exhibition place for showcasing other museum artifacts, work of art etc. Its close to the Behria icon building right under our nose n we never noticed it.

Mohatta Palace is off a main road but quite hidden I would say in that passing by you wouldnt realize it if gate closed. Once you walk into the gates its as if youve escaped the chaotic & bustling part of Karachi into a nice, quiet and serene garden as the front courtyard of the palace. Enjoy the gardens for a bit as you make our way to the main door. The entry was minimal and worth as when you enter the palace, you not only are in awe with the architecture but also there are usually a couple exhibits on. When we went there was one on maps and the other on fabrics & fashion. It was quite focused on Pakistan and very nicely laid out. We had budgeted 2 hours for the visit, but I dont think that was enough. You imagine it to be a small place of quick in and out but the exhibits are quite intriguing so take out a half day I would recommend if you want to go through it all in detail and see the details of the interiors of the palace as well as some history is given on the palace.I enjoyed this getaway right in the heart of Karachi. Locals and visitors should all consider a visit
