It is a great museum thats extremely easy on the wallet as well. Rs. 30 entry with no time limit. Once youre done with the exhibitions, you can hang out in the garden (which is beautiful and very well maintained!)You have to turn in your cell phones when you go see the exhibit inside.The air conditioning is great which keeps the exhibits safe. The staff is very polite and helpful.Theres a cute little gift shop. But beware, the staff that runs it takes really long break

If you want to appreciate the architecture and the well manicured lawn, do visit. The exhibition on show today was not much to write about. The souvenir shop is interesting and surprisingly very reasonably priced. Entrance fee is nominal almost free.I am amazed that such a beautiful and historic building is being used for minor exhibits. It can be used as a national museum to permanently exhibit rare manuscripts or antiquities. That would attract tourists. The entrance fee can then be increased to Rs. 100 for locals and US $ 10 for foreigners.

This palace is a marvel, well preserved and renovated but the place is commonly used for exhibitions and events. You cannot visit all sections of the building at once, you can only visit one section at a time, which is open for exhibition, the rest of the sections are close by the management. You can use IPhone PRO max to take the pictures but You cannot use DSLR, which is a bit inappropriate and funny.

Very well preserved building. Looks absolutely beautiful. The exhibitions held inside are also very good and interesting. The 1st floor was being repaired and hence could not go upstairs.

Beautifully serene palace away from the craziness of the city this old palace is a great place for an hour. It’s only 30 rupees for entry and the museum inside is great showcasing different exhibitions from around Pakistan.Note that cameras & phones cannot be taken into the exhibitions. Take the time to sit in the garden for a while before leaving.

Mohatta Palace has a very different and slightly modern kind of architecture. It is very well maintained and surrounded by lush green gardens. The designs on roofs and simple wooden doors and windows are unique. You cannot take your phone inside. This place was open on sunday also. I went around 1pm and no rush/crowed is found during that time. There are peacocks and parakeets in small area also. Moreover, the gardens are very neat. Wearing masks is must. Wheel chair can be a problem. Its more of an cloths and cultural art gallery now. You will not see excat identification of rooms and usage of palace story around that is the bug downside of palace visit. There is small gift and sovineer shop where you can buy beautiful traditional jewlery, decorations, stationary and truck art stuff.

Mohatta Palace is located near Zamzama Blvd defence and close to Abdullah Shah Ghazi mazar. Well mentioned pretty palace offers sub continental history and locally handicraft traditionally colorful clothes are well exhibited in different Hall ways. A gift shop offers hand crafted locally made souvenirs well diversified from all across Pakistan. I did not see surveillance Cameras inside the building. Also there are two many employees working. I guess it’s ok since it’s maintained by government body. I highly suggest local residence of Karachi to visit Mohatta Palace and talk about it so that people from other part of Pakistan and overseas will also visit such a historical place which is well kept. Admission ticket is only rupees 30

Rs 30 for just seeing a couple of decorated ancient women shirts. Ashhoora. But the building was awesome

Fell in love with this place ️It is a good historic place to visit with children. A historic palace at the heart of urban city.You can take pictures outside the palace pictures are not allowed to be taken inside palace. Inside the palace you can find historic art and paintings.

Nice and historical place but we visit only ground floor. First floor and back side of palace are closed. And administration charge full tickets. Our group is around 22 peoples. Why ground-floor open and other places are closed.I advise other people who plane visit to place first to know how area will be open otherwise your time and money waste.

Mohatta Palace is historical palace which is being used as museum for portraying culture of sindh by the Government of Sindh. It is always awesome to visit this place and enjoy different cultural imprints of the Sindh every time.

Amazing historical place. Best example of architecture. Nice Museum. But it is handed over to a designers company they advertise their designs inside the museum.

Walk in to the most majestic heritage building in Karachi that captures the history of the land beautifully. They also have awesome exhibitions as well. Two thumbs up!!

Extremely disappointed with Mohatta Palace. Theres nothing historic about the place. Theyve painted all the exterior and interior. The museum has nothing about Mohatta, Fatima Jinnah or anything old. There are only some pieces of embroideries and pictures which have nothing to do with the Palace. I thought the living quarters of the residents were preserved , but saw nothing.

The Mohatta Palace (Urdu: مہتا پیلس‎) is a museum located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Designed by Agha Ahmed Hussain, the palace was built in 1927 in the posh seaside locale of Clifton as the summer home of Shivratan Mohatta, a Hindu Marwari businessman from what is now the modern-day Indian state of Rajasthan. The palace was built in the tradition of stone palaces of Rajasthan, using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from nearby Gizri. Mohatta could enjoy this building for only about two decades before the partition of India, after which he left Karachi for the new state of India.Shivratan Chandraratan Mohatta was a Hindu Marwari businessman, who traced his roots in Rajasthan, his recorded ancestry began with Motilal Mohata (spelled Mohatta in English), who migrated in 1842 from Bikaner to Hyderabad (in Telangana, India) to become a clerk in a shop. His four children migrated to Calcutta and became leading merchants of imported cloth. One of them, Govardhan Mohta, moved to Karachi in 1883. His older son, Ramgopal, became a scholar and author. Karachis Hindu Gymkhana building, officially known as the Seth Ramgopal Goverdhandas Mohatta Hindu Gymkhana was named after this son. Govardhan Mohtas younger son Shivrattan became an industrialist in Karachi, and made his fortune from the manufacturing of palm olive soap.

It is all about history of living..Mobile phone are not allowed in side palace..One should visit it if love history

An palace turned Museum space in the heart of Karachi. This cultural venue is a must visit when youre in Karachi. Keep an eye on the Instagram page to have an update on their events.

A nice place to visit with family and kids. Very neat and clean palace with small museum and large outdoor lawns...

Great place to visit but only opens at 11am to 6am Tuesday to Sunday.DSLR cameras arent allowed there but you can use mobile phones camera.

A pearl of Karachi city.A masterpiece built by a rich man of the Rajhistan in 1927, for his summer house in Karachi city. Seth Mohatta was the person who owned this magnificent palace.After independence 1947, this Building was used as Foreign office then gifted to Fatima Jinnah mother of Nation where she died in year 1967.now this Building is converted into a decent museum for fine arts.

Very small palace. I would recommend this place to those who have interest in Sindi Culture not for everyone one

Superb place.. Cultural heritage.environment and maintenance is also good.

Such a beautiful place and very silent happy to see.

Its a wonderfully constructed palace with lush green lawns. The museum inside always has a different theme. Good place to visit.

Mohatta Palace takes you back to a royal time. We toured the palace and it was a great historical experience. Exhibits change every so often. There is a small gift shop inside as well! We also attended a private musical event (pre-Covid). The site is very well maintained.

Very interesting place But Pictures are not allowed and gift shop is quite expensive

The Mohatta Palace  is a museum located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Designed by Agha Ahmed Hussain, the palace was built in 1927 in the posh seaside locale of Clifton as the summer home of Shivratan Mohatta, a Hindu Marwari businessman from what is now the modern-day Indian state of Rajasthan. The palace was built in the tradition of stone palaces of Rajasthan, using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from nearby Gizri. Mohatta could enjoy this building for only about two decades before the partition of India, after which he left Karachi for the new state of India.

What a beauty built in 1927 owners was from rajihistan it was taken over by Government after independence in 1947Mother of nation Fatima Jinnah lived here until her death in 1967

The astounding majesty and sheer beauty of this palace of supreme wonder, combined with the spices of history and romance associated with it, made me gladly spend 30 rupees to buy entrance ticket. Though I wasnt allowed to bring my phone inside the museum so I only took pictures of the outer walls of this building.

Its a nice place to go

This shows good biography of mohatta and also a good park flowers and all that stuff was really nice

This is awesome place in to visit, only rupees 30 for entry and no further charges. It used as summer home for two decades but now this is a museum. Peaceful place at Clifton area Karachi, nice views.

Really good and peaceful palace to visit. Not so much to see from but good place for taking pictures they changed the inside exhibition after every 6 month. Now days showing clutrual works mostly. I really enjoyed my visit here specially there savinor shope buy from there as well.

Mohatta Palace is off a main road but quite hidden I would say in that passing by you wouldnt realize it if gate closed. Once you walk into the gates its as if youve escaped the chaotic & bustling part of Karachi into a nice, quiet and serene garden as the front courtyard of the palace. Enjoy the gardens for a bit as you make our way to the main door. The entry was minimal and worth as when you enter the palace, you not only are in awe with the architecture but also there are usually a couple exhibits on. When we went there was one on maps and the other on fabrics & fashion. It was quite focused on Pakistan and very nicely laid out. We had budgeted 2 hours for the visit, but I dont think that was enough. You imagine it to be a small place of quick in and out but the exhibits are quite intriguing so take out a half day I would recommend if you want to go through it all in detail and see the details of the interiors of the palace as well as some history is given on the palace.I enjoyed this getaway right in the heart of Karachi. Locals and visitors should all consider a visit

Such a beautiful place it is ️

A must see historic landmark in Karachi. The place is nice to visit with family n children. Its a museum but does not host its own artifacts. This Palace is used as an exhibition place for showcasing other museum artifacts, work of art etc. Its close to the Behria icon building right under our nose n we never noticed it.

The gardens are good and clean but the actual museum was a let down, some old sindhi chlothes and pictures of people thats all.

Beautiful building, but staff not very informative and busy leading you to the gift shop.

Nice piece of architect but must be open for all floors and should use as museum.

Theres no related palace Culture Antiquities Department need more improve about Mohata palace things...

The palace has a beautiful lawn with greenery and colorful flowers, which add to the beauty of environment when fluttering in the air.I would recommend you to visit this place in mornings or evenings to feel the magic of cool breeze.There is a museum too, which is, I would call it a dynamic one. Because the historical remains of specific monument arent set for long there, instead they are being changed time by time. When I visited the museum, there was the gallery of art work and monuments of Makli graveyard, and there were documentary boards beside each art work, which made the picture more comprehensive, and interesting to know about.There are two empty spaces in lawn where different music and conference programs are arranged. Each of these spaces have the capacity to hold an audience of about 500 in number.

Well managed, neat and clean kept with cultural handicrafts + paintings

Historical place, founder of Pakistan Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnahs Home....now a museum!

Beautiful Palace with great details of primitive nature and best place for tourists.

The palace is marvellous but the inside of it is not attractive just boring history of makli with unattractive sculptures.

The Mohatta Palace is a museum located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It was built in the posh seaside locale of Clifton by Shivratan Chandraratan Mohatta, a Hindu Marwari businessman from modern day Rajasthan in India, in 1927, as his summer home. The architect of the palace was Agha Ahmed Hussain. However, Mohatta could enjoy this building for only about two decades before independence, after which he left Karachi for India. He built the Palace in the tradition of stone palaces in Rajasthan, using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from Gizri. The amalgam gave the palace a distinctive presence in an elegant neighbourhood, characterised by Indo-Saracenic architecture which was located not far from the sea.

Best Place For photoshoot/ Pre Weeding Shoot

Karachi’s iconic structure worth visiting over and again. It was the last residing place of Ms. Fatima Jinnah. It went into disrepair. Government of Sindh created an endowment fund for this historical building for its restoration as well as maintenance. This fund is entrusted with a Trust comprising of eminent citizens of Sindh.Don’t miss out musical concerts or art shows/exhibitions which are occasionally held here. The ambience is majestic!

One of the historic place to visit is the mohatta palace situated at the center of the karachi. The mohata palace is the last residence of the Miss Fatima Jinnah and Shereen Jinah. Now mohatta palace is converted into the museum. The cameras are not allowed inside. You can only take pictures of the outside buildings. The ticket is minimal amount Rs 50. The mohata palace have two stories. The first story is converted into the art gallery of the makli. The second one is for different artists. You can get some remembered things to buy from here.

Lovely, one should feel good visiting the place

This looks just awesome building.it has been decorated very well.it was once the residence of the mother of nation fatimah jinnah.building is being looked after very well.now not a residence but a beautiful museum which reflect the culture of pakistan....

An exhibition museum with an amazing building, the building is ancient runned by sindh govt for promoting culture. Sceneries are pretty

Its an awesome place to visit. Only one thing which i dont like that mobiles are not allowed inside the Museum staff will submit your mobile or camera when you entered inside museum. Except that all was awesome.

The builder & first owner of mohtaa palaceA rare photograph of shri shivratan ji mohtaaWho came India after parttion .This is real picture that I was found in India . It is a coincidence that after reading the history of mohtaa palace I found this one.He also donates to cancer hospital in indore where his name is on the foundation stone of that hospital.Great person

Great historical place in Karachi. Telling us the story of time. A place stood up against all good and bad circumstances and comes strong g to let us k ow the history of the peo6who owned and construct this palace

Amazing Palace and style, often includes some exhibitions and art galleries to visit inside. You have to deposit your phone at the entrance, pictures are not allowed. Gift shop has some nice items and not too expensive

A Beautiful and Calm Place with lots of history information on it. You can visit it between 11:00 to 06:00 pm Six days a week. On Monday museum is closed for public. Keep a diary and pencil or pen with yourself to make notes. Best location for outdoor Photographers.

Mohatta Palace is one of those hidden gems that you cant miss in the hustle bustle of the city. You see it barely peeking over rooftops as you zip along admiring the new tall buildings going up around the area. Do make a point of stopping in to see a building that harkens back to an old era and the rich history of the city before it lost in an urban jungle.

Very nice historic architecture. A very good place among the few historicals in Karachi.

Mohatta palace has different exhibits on. Right now they have a painter by the name of hal bevan petman and makli.The painter made portraits of lots of people which are fascinating.The makli exhibit is also beautifully done. You are not allowed to take pics inside.A gift shop is housed inside which sells traditional block prints and objects made truck art style.

Mohatta Palace is a historic place, full of cherishable memories and praises for the architecture and designers. It is well preserved by custodians in an amazing way. The exhibition concept which team has introduced here is exceptional. Research work and depiction of Makli Graveyard inside Mohatta Palace was beyond imagination. One feel likes to go again and again. Indeed I am inspired by the research work and layout of entire theme. Photo exhibition on top floor was also outclass, collection of photographs and artwork was amazingly beautiful. Addition of artwork by Sadqain was a good surprise. In short a place worth visiting again and again, well learned and well behaved staff and interesting research theme encompasses Mohatta Palace Building.

I have been there twice once for be there for gathering for a trip, my experience was mostly the exterior and premises of building which was great !!! at back side there were original statues from British colonial era that was a breath taking sight, the broken, damaged and abandoned statues from old buildings bring down after independence and were in process of restoration.Second trip was this year for art gallery here for art works by Imran Mir The Alchemist of line .Photography was strickly not allowed inside.

At its core the place is an art exhibition and nothing more. It used to be Fatima Jinnahs personal abode at a time long past, and the only echoing footsteps are those of occasional tourists who resort to photographing in the green gardens of the premesis rather than enquire about the history of the beautiful structure.

Its wonderful place to visit

Complete Review : I went on 11 March 2020. Entry ticket is Rs.30 for one adult, Elder citizen and kids under 12 years have free entry. I was shocked to see the beauty of the historical building. In the lawn area you are allowed to take pictures videos. But when you go inside the main building they do not allow to take pictures videos. Their staff takes cell phones or cameras when you enter the main building and return it to you without any charge. There is a beautiful picture gallery inside the building and historical information. From start to end I felt that their staff is very decent. They also wrote a note that the WiFi is available but I didnt try just to save my battery. True a beautiful place.

Such an artistic & magnificent place to celebrate art & literature

Also known as Qasr e Fatima jinnah.Its a beautiful and iconic place in Karachi.It has great attraction for tourists in Karachi the city of lights

A nice and historical place in Karachi Clifton Area.well maintained and management is Also doing excellent work. You have to park your car outside.Camera and mobile not allowed inside

Just good atmosphere nothing to watch

Very amazing architecture, love it!!

Mohatta place is one of the best place to visit in Karachi, building structure reflect mughals living style, after freedom of Pakistan, Fatima Ali Jinnah stay here for 3 years.Mohatta place staff is very friendly.Clean washroomGood sightseeing.

It was one of the places that I was proudly bragging about back in 2012 in US. Visiting it in 2019 made me fall in love with it even more. A lover of architecture that I am, it was heaven for me. The interior was just as pretty as the exterior. The fact that the entrance costs you next to nothing is something that should be appreciated and hence should be visited more. Their exhibitions exude quality and the peek at culture it allows through them is

Karachi has limited tourist spots, this is one of them. You will pay Rs.30 to get in but don’t expect much. The museum does not have much to offer. On a good day you might see a portion of the ground and 1st floor but no more than 3 to 4 rooms. The rest is all ways closed for public.Should visit this place if you are interested to see the very limited landmarks and tourist attractions in Karachi.

Nice and neat place, worth visiting.

One of the best historical site in Karachi and very well maintained. Site run regular exhibitions of various artists and their craft. Keep following and meet track of events. Valuable info and pastime too for entire family. Tip. They dont allow cameras inside and will keep it safe at their location.

Want to visit again ️ everything was so perfect as the art is preserved in safe hands

Historical place but employee behaviour is not good and no any notification of close and open we visit but they close gate and I ask some person inside palace he told me that go this is closed.... Worst behaviour

Clean place. You can go one time just to say you have been there

Its Avery old property was under use of Fatimah jinnah

The place was admirable and the museum within was very professionally put forth for the curious mind, with information and a guide present at all times. Theres also a snack shop outside near the park area, so you can snack up if you feel hungry. So thats another plus for a museum on such a small scale area along with cost effective ticket prices (its low enough for everyone to visit) .. Would love to visit again with friends. :)

This place was residence of Bussiness Tycoon Mohatta before partition after creation of pakistan this place owns pakistan even Fatima Jinah is reside there after partition In 1997 this place is designated as national Heritage

It has beautiful architecture and good for me that pictures were allowed that time.It is clean and calm place with great staff.

Nothing much to see,other than some paintings and printer long wallpapers.Your not allowed to take your phone or camera inside the gallery.

Commissioned out of love of architecture by a Rajasthani Marwari entrepreneur & designed by the first Muslim architect of India, the beautiful, serene building has worn many hats: acquired by the new state of Pakistan, it housed the Foreign Ministry, then was home to the woman leader Fatima Jinnah. It became a museum under a trust in 1999. Its stately Mughal style arches lure you in; the delicate pink of the Jodhpur stone is surreal; the gardens full of lovely blooms with the odd preening peacock strutting about. The museum shop is well-priced & has quite a few treats. The guides are well informed, the exhibitions intriguing & the staff friendly. Really good use of a couple of hours.

Love this place to visit with family. Well kept place. Amazing museum. Great place for art lovers.

Some sections were closed and they dont allow photography inside the museum

Really enjoy the visit learn some historic knowledge inside related thatta Makali also seen birds outside , fountain , and big garden my advise visit with family and spend enjoyable time

Beautiful building and well looked after.Its one way of connection with our past.

Lovely architecture of 1900s with good exhibitions frequently held there.

Excellent ethenic designed landmark building of the city now converted in a museum, about which wikipedia tells: verification.The Mohatta Palace is a museum located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Designed by Agha Ahmed Hussain,[1] the palace was built in 1927 in the posh seaside locale of Clifton as the summer home of Shivratan Mohatta, a Hindu Marwari businessman from what is now the modern-day Indian state of Rajasthan. The palace was built in the tradition of stone palaces of Rajasthan, using pink Jodhpur stone in combination with the local yellow stone from nearby Gizri. Mohatta could enjoy this building for only about two decades before the Partition of British India, after which he left Karachi for the new state of India.

Haal was Beautiful but a peraon who comes from far away should be allowed...... I am not happy b/c I was not allowed to go in....!!

Its a museum. Unfortunately photos arent allowed for an unknown reason, which is bad. Architecture is awesome. But interior lighting is not very special which is justified because it cost you only few rupees. Good for the price.

Nice place to stay for dinner tonight

Historical beauty that exists in the heart of Karachi and mostly people dont know regarding it

The elegance of the palace is awesome... The lawns were marvelous.. the palace was usually used for private exhibitions ...

Wonderful, excellent place to visit with family. Great place to see great culture.

Timings: 11am-6pmClosed on Monday.They charge you little amount for entry; inside it’s kind of a museum, if you observe ‘slowly’, would take you 15mins max.Aura of the place is amazing, you’d love being there. They have souvenir shop as well.

This is so amazing place usually for historical lovers but unfortunately building is using as art gallery purpose, only you can see the roof design and floor design, roof is also close for public and basement as well, overall nice place in busy karachi,Tripod is not allowed even in garden and cellphone is not allowed in side the building.
