In the Durbar Hall of Fateh Prakash Palace (part of the City Palace complex), the Crystal Gallery holds what is said to be the world's single largest private collection of crystal — chairs, tables, fountains, dinner services, a sofa, even a crystal bed — all ordered from the English firm F. & C. Osler in the 1870s and never used.
The collection is extraordinary precisely because of its absurdity — opulent enough to feel slightly oppressive, beautifully presented in a stately hall with its own painted ceiling. Tickets are separate from the main palace and noticeably more expensive; whether it is worth the cost is a matter of taste.
