The Sangrahalaya Museum, located in Kanpur, one of the oldest industrial cities in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which is located in the Northern part of India, can rightfully be called a historical "book" of this city, in which it is easy to "read" his story. It is located on the territory of Central public Park, Phool Bagh, Maidan, KEM the Lobby, and a significant part of it.

This building is a beautiful two-storey building, painted in yellow color, typical of India during British rule style. The corners are traditionally small turrets under neat domes. On the Central tower of the hall are large clocks that make it a little bit like London's big Ben. Openwork carved arches on the first and on the second floor give the building a fresh and slightly romantic view.

This local history Museum is very young, as it was established only in 1999, but despite this, his collection of artifacts of colonial and post-colonial period is big enough. It contains items that belonged to famous people of the city that have influenced its development, photographs, manuscripts, finds collected during the excavation, books. One of the main attractions of Sangrahalaya is an old artillery gun of the colonial period, which stands right at the entrance to the Museum.

As the official Museum of the city Kanpur, Sangrahalaya is the main source of information about Kanpur and one of the places where you stored the city archives and historical documents.
