Mahatma Phule Museum
Pune, Maharashtra, India
The Mahatma Phule Museum, originally established in 1890 as the Poona Industrial Museum, is one of Pune's oldest and most eclectic museums, offering a wide array of exhibits that delve into various facets of Indian life, history, and natural science. Though it was later renamed Lord Reay Museum bef ore finally being christened Mahatma Phule Museum in 1968, it's important to note that the museum doesn't specifically relate to the life or work of social reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, despite its name.
