Nizam’s Museum curator Ahmed Ali said though the renovation of the wardrobe portion was taken up, visitors were allowed into the museum without restriction.

“The museum functioned as usual during the renovation,” said Ahmed Ali.

The museum has two parts – the wardrobe part under the control of Mukarram Jah trust and the remaining portion containing other important exhibits is managed by the Nizam’s Jubilee Pavilion Trust.
