Salar Jung Museum, the largest one-man collection, is the third-largest museum in India. A collection built by generations of Salar Jungs, this art museum was declared open in 1951 by Jawaharlal Nehru. It was relocated to the present location in 1968, which is pretty close to Charminar and other central locations. It houses important artefacts of the Mughal period like Jahangir’s dagger, Noor Jahan’s Fruit knife, and the marble chair presented to Tipu Sultan. Other marvels in this museum are the musical clock, the veiled Rebecca, and the two-faced statue.
