A section of the Bagore-ki-Haveli, a rambling, 138-room lakeside haveli of 1751, has been converted into a worthwhile museum, arranged on two floors around one of the haveli's several courtyards. The upper floor holds several immaculately restored rooms with original furnishings and artworks, plus some fine murals. The lower floor has rooms full of women's clothes, musical instruments, kitchen equipment and – the undisputed highlight – what is claimed to be the world's largest turban. Traditional music and dance shows (Rs60, camera Rs50, video Rs50) are staged here nightly at 7pm.
