Bagore Ki Haveli
Bagore Ki Haveli stands on the platform of Gangori Ghat in the vicinity of Pichola Lake. This ancient edifice displays delicate carvings and glass work. Built by Amir Chand Badwa, the Chief Minister of the Mewar Royal Court, it dates back to the 18th century. Maharana Shakti Singh of Bagore, who resided in the haveli, incorporated three storeys to the main structure, in 1878.This mansion of Bagore that used to serve the royalty of Mewar was handed over to the West Zone Cultural Centre (WZCC) in 1986 which planned to renovate the haveli and restore it to its old architectural style. In the museum present within the haveli, the aristocratic culture of Mewar has been portrayed.Premium mural paintings of Rajasthan designed in Mewar, along with the costumes of the royal kings and modern art are notable highlights of the museum.

Original paintings of Mewar are displayed in the Queens Chamber.The collections of the museum also include beautiful peacocks created with small pieces of coloured glass. After renovation, the haveli contains more than 100 rooms with well-arranged balconies, terraces, courtyards and corridors.Intricate and fine mirror works embellish the interiors of the haveli.
