Shri Pratap Singh Museum — A Royal Palace Turned Heritage Museum
Shri Pratap Singh Museum, commonly known as the SPS Museum, stands on the banks of the Jhelum River in the Lal Mandi area of Srinagar. The building began life as a summer palace for the Maharajas who once ruled Kashmir, before being converted into a museum that opened to the public in 1898.
What the Museum Holds
The collection brings together Kashmiri heritage and craftsmanship under one roof — handicrafts, archaeological artifacts, terracotta pieces from ancient Buddhist sites, miniature paintings, manuscripts, musical instruments, and textiles including the region's famous pashmina shawls.
Why Visit
For travelers interested in Kashmir's history and culture rather than just its landscapes, the SPS Museum offers a compact, indoor way to understand the valley's royal and artistic past — a good complement to a day that also includes Lal Chowk or a walk along the Jhelum riverfront.
Visiting Tips
Museum timings and entry fees can change, so it's worth checking the current schedule on arrival or with your driver. Photography rules vary by gallery, so check signage once inside.
