Pune is home to an astounding 45 museums.
These range from tribal art to aerospace, heritage to land records.
On 27 April 2025, local guides in Pune visited the Kelkar Museum as part of the heritage walk meetup.
The museum is located in the narrow bylanes of the old town of Pune.
And this photo sums up the morning portion of the meetup, since photography was not allowed inside.
But that was not all.
The meetup extended through the afternoon with several entertaining activities like a fun quiz conducted online by Dr. @K.K.Sharma.
Local guides who attended the meetup online enjoyed the quiz thoroughly 
Myself, Kuldip Patil @Kuldip_Patil and @Rushikesh_joshi shared our screen to show the museum and heritage walk around from 3 screens
We captured essential photos of the museum exterior, various facilities like parking, timings, ticket counter, accessibility features, cafes nearby, etc.
I shared badges, keychains, stickers, and cards with attendees.
Before leaving the museum, we took another group photo:
Then we headed to Sujata Mastani, the iconic ice cream parlor in Pune.
More on this in a separate post - Beat The Heat.
This meetup was also part of the 10-Year of Google Masp Celebration meetup series initiated by @NareshDarji bhai. The first photo in the collage above was designed by him and generously shared for printing cards and stickers.
Accessibility Check
The sidewalk outside the museum did not have a track for a tactile path.
The museum itself had an accessible elevator and wheelchair facility.
Sustainability and Green Earth
Outside the museum and along the sidewalk footpath, we noted there were trash bins with 3 distinct chambers to segregate bio waste, plastic, and paper waste.
Before concluding the meetup, we took another group photo for memory.
