around the year 1750 by the second Nizam is now converted

in 1936. A 1930 Rolls Royce, Packard and a Mark V Jaguar
are among the vintage cars displayed.
There is an interesting collection of models made in silver

in Urdu about H.E.H. Mir Osman Ali Khan, gold burnished
wooden throne used for the silver jubilee celebrations,
gold tiffin box inlaid with diamonds, gold model of Jubilee
Pavilion, silver coffee cups studded with diamonds and
