Sangrahalaya Museum, located in Kanpur - one of the oldest industrial cities of Uttar Pradesh state, which is located in the northern part of India, can rightfully be called a historical "book" of this city, which is easy to "read" his story. It is located on the territory of the central public park Phule Bagh Maidan in KEM Hall and occupies a considerable part of it.

This building is a beautiful two-storey building, painted in yellow color, typical of India under British rule style. At the corners are traditionally arranged in neat little towers under domes. In the central tower of the hall are the big clock, which makes it a little bit similar to London's Big Ben. Openwork carved arches on the first and on the second floor give the building a fresh and slightly romantic view.

This local history museum is very young, as it was established only in 1999, but, despite this, his collection of artifacts of the colonial and post-colonial period is large enough. It contains things that belonged to famous people of the city that have influenced its development, photographs, manuscripts, findings collected during the excavations, and books. One of the main attractions Sangrahalaya is the old artillery cannon colonial period, which is located near the entrance to the museum.
