Crystal Gallery Udaipur

The Crystal Gallery is a museum housed in the Fateh Prakash Palace within the City Palace Complex in Udaipur, Rajasthan. It displays one of the world's largest private collections of crystal, ordered in 1877 by Maharana Sajjan Singh from the Birmingham firm F. & C. Osler. The collection includes crystal chairs, sofas, tables, fountains and tableware, preserved after remaining unpacked for decades and opened to the public in 1994.

Visitors can expect a curated museum display inside the Fateh Prakash Palace showcasing an extensive collection of 19th-century crystal furniture and objects. The gallery features crystal sofas, chairs, tables, beds, fountains, decanters and tableware arranged in palace halls with period decor. The setting is indoors within the City Palace Complex overlooking Lake Pichola, with guided viewing along designated gallery routes.

The crystal collection was ordered in 1877 by Maharana Sajjan Singh of Mewar from the Birmingham firm F. & C. Osler & Co. in England. The Maharana died in 1884 before the shipment could be fully used, and much of the crystal remained packed and stored for over a century. The collection was later restored and opened as the Crystal Gallery in 1994 in Fateh Prakash Palace by Shri Arvind Singh Mewar.

The gallery showcases the royal lifestyle and appreciation for European craftsmanship during the Mewar period, reflecting 19th-century cultural exchange and luxury. It preserves rare crystal artistry and is considered an important heritage attraction within the City Palace Complex.
