The Government Museum, Chennai is a museum in Chennai and one of the city's long-standing attractions. Visitors come for its galleries and collections, and it sits within easy reach of the Egmore and Anna Salai (Mount Road) parts of the city, where many of Chennai's hotels are found. The surrounding streets are busy through the day, with offices, shops and restaurants close by, so a visit fits neatly into a morning or afternoon of sightseeing.

Mylapore, with the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and its narrow streets and traditional shops, and T. Nagar, the major shopping district with its bustling markets, are both within the wider city.
