The museum is located at the same place as the Moti Shahi Mahal, a palace built between 1618 and 1622 by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan. The Shahibaug gardens, which were bursting with noble cypresses, cedars, palms, sandals, and cassias, as well as mango, tamarind, and other fruit trees, were one of the most prominent ornamental features. The palace was taken over by the British and converted into a government structure. From 1960 to 1978, the structure served as Raj Bhavan, the official house of the Governor of Gujarat. On the centennial of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth, March 7, 1980, it was declared a memorial.
