Dhule District Museum

District museum covering Dhule's history, archaeology, and Khandesh heritage

The Dhule District Museum covers the archaeology, history, and cultural heritage of the Khandesh region, of which Dhule is the principal city. The collection includes artifacts recovered from local excavations — stone tools, pottery, and coins spanning prehistoric through Maratha-era periods — alongside exhibits on traditional crafts, textiles, and the natural history of the district.

The museum is housed in a government building and maintains modest but informative displays. It is one of the few places to get historical context for the Khandesh plateau, a region often bypassed by travellers moving between Mumbai and central India. Opening hours follow government timings — typically 10am to 5pm, closed Mondays and public holidays.
