During the British occupation of Ajmer, Akbar's palace was converted into an ammunition depot and renamed Rajputana Arsenal. It was rebuilt in 1908 into a museum that houses many Hindu idols from the 6th to 7th centuries. These idols mainly show a mixture of Rajput and Mughal designs. The large black marble statue of Goddess kali is one of the most famous exhibits here. The museum also exhibits ancient military and warfare equipment, ancient artillery and weapons, sculptures, and stone sculptures. Akbar's palace is almost impregnable by the two distinctive stone walls that surround it. The palace occupies an important place in the history of Ajmer because it served as a historic meeting place for Emperor Jahangir and Sir Thomas Rowe of the East India Company.
