Excellent Place of Historical importance
Centrally located in the heart of AMU, this was the house of the founder, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. The place gives information about the history of Aligarh Muslim University as well as its founder. Nice to see AMU , maintaining museum for its founder. Though small provides enough information for the place and person. You also come to know about the stalwarts who were linked to this place and institution Well maintained lush green place with Grand Mosque attached to it.
