The Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur is the oldest museum of the state and functions as the state museum of Rajasthan, India. The building is situated in Ram Niwas garden outside the city wall opposite New gate and is a fine example of Indo-Saracenic architecture. It is also called the Government Central Museum. The building was designed by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, assisted by Mir Tujumool Hoosein, and was opened as public museum in 1887. Maharaja Ram Singh initially wanted this building to be a town hall, but his successor, Madho Singh II, decided it should be a museum for the art of Jaipur and included as part of the new Ram Nivas Garden. It is named after King Edward VII (Albert Edward), during whose visit to the city as the Prince of Wales, its foundation stone was laid on 6 February 1876. अल्बर्ट हॉल संग्रहालय (अंग्रेजी :Albert Hall Museum) भारत के राजस्थान राज्य के जयपुर ज़िले में स्थित एक संग्रहालय है। [1] यह राजस्थान का सबसे पुराना संग्रहालय है। यह संग्रहालय "राम निवास उद्यान" के बाहरी ओर सीटी वॉल के नये द्वार के सामने है। [2] यह "भारत-अरबी शैली" में बनाई गयी एक बिल्डिंग है। इसकी डिजाइन सर सैम्युल स्विंटन जैकब ने की थी तथा यह पब्लिक संग्रहालय के रूप में 1887 में खुला था। [3] महाराजा राम सिंह चाहते थे कि इसको एक टाउन हॉल बनाया जाये परंतु "माधोसिंह 2" ने यह निर्णय लिया कि इसे जयपुर के लिए एक कला का संग्रहालय बनाया जाये और इसको राम निवास उद्यान का अंग माना जाता है। [4] यह "सरकारी केन्द्रीय संग्रहालय" के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। इस संग्रहालय में कई पुराने चित्र ,दरियाँ ,हाथी दाँत ,कीमती पत्थर ,धातु ,मूर्तियाँ रंगबिरंगी कई वस्तुएँ देखने को मिलती है।
