Another great place for Pune history is the museum and exhibits at Bharat Itihaas Sanshodhak Mandalin Sadashiv Peth, off Tilak Road. They have a great collection of paintings, books, coins (some dating back to over 2000 years). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharat_Itihas_Sanshodhak_Mandal

The museum on Parvati is a must-see for children. Heritage construction, household equipments, ornaments, clothes, instruments, armament, and photos of old Pune are a treat for children. They can learn so many things while enjoying the trip to Parvati.

Kelkar Museum, on Bajirao road (halfway beteen Swar Gate and Shaniwarwada). Random collection of stuff that Raja Dinkar Kelkar liked. Raja Kelkar Musuem is probably the best museum on Maratha/Peshwa History. Its truely fascinating. Do checkout this link: http://www.rajakelkarmuseum.com/index.asp
