The museum is so extensive you can never see it in 3 or 4 hours.
However the guide we had: Kashmir, made the best of it , taking us through some of the most beautiful , various and interesting pieces of art and providing with very good explanations.

Wonderful Place to visit. You could spend days there. Guide did an excellent job of providing information in a short amount of time. I would recommend.

Guide was too detailed and spent to much time on detail. Wanted to see what he showed but didn't need a professor to teach class on it, could have see more with less detail.
