Golghar Museum occupies a distinctive circular building that was originally constructed as a granary during the 19th century. Its unique architecture, a large dome with no supporting pillars, makes it a landmark in Bhopal. Today, the museum houses a collection of artifacts that trace the city's history, including vintage photographs, coins, manuscripts, and household items from the Nawabi era. Visitors can climb to the top for a panoramic view of the surrounding area. What makes this museum special is its intimate scale and the way it blends architectural curiosity with local heritage, offering a glimpse into Bhopal's royal past.
