The state of Jammu and Kashmir was ruled by the Dogra Dynasty rulers for a long time. As a result many magnificent monuments of that era can be seen. Amar Mahal Museum is one such place. It was built in the 1890’s in the European style of architecture.
It has been used till late 1967 also by the late queen Tara Devi Wife of Late Maharaja Hari Singh. After this their son converted the Palace into a Museum and an art exchange place. He wanted like minded people to have some common space to explore and develop new and unique art work. The museum is now under the care of Hari-Tara charitable trust.
