Updating legacy at fifth generation!

The Kohinoor Museum of

Rare pieces of art and artifacts since 1862

The Museum is all about an exquisite private collection of needle and thread, three dimensional handcrafted embroidery and precious artifacts are passionately preserved and showcased to connoisseurs from all over the world, in a state of the art sound and light extravaganza fondly known as The Kohinoor Museum, Agra.

The Kohinoor Museum is a collection of rare pieces of art and artifacts since 1862 by the Mathur family-jewelers, collectors and promoters of the Museum. The Kohinoor Family was traditionally with the Mughals in Delhi, where they lived in old Delhi at Chandhi Chowk.

Their ancestors moved to Agra in 1857 with the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, into the old walled city of Mughal Agra. The British rulers bestowed on the family property at Old Drummond Road in Agra (now known as Mahatma Gandhi Road).

Later the ancestors of Mathur family started the business, Kohinoor Jewellers in Agra in 1862, which is being continued now by the fifth generation. Late Mr Brij Gopal Mathur, great visionary and connoisseur of gems, jewellery and art, was the moving force in ably bringing Kohinoor Jewellers to great heights.

The business reached a pinnacle under the pioneering vision of talented and gifted Mr. Ghanshyam Gopal Mathur, who relentlessly worked to create a niche in exclusive jewellery with gems of highest quality. Mr. G.G. Mathur is ably assisted by the fifth generation talented descendents of the family.

Daughter, Ms. Ruchira Mathur designs original creations for Kohinoor Jewellers with great elan. Son, Mr. Milind Mathur, Graduate Gemologist from G.I.A. Carlsbad, California U.S.A, ably looks after the quality control and is the Creative Director of the company.
