Formerly known as The Prince of Wales Museum, this Mumbai landmark, situated between the historic areas of Colaba and Fort, was built in 1905 to commemorate the first visit of King George V to India. However, it was opened to the public only after 20 years. Built by George Wittet, it stands proud in the midst of a beautiful lush garden. The extensive collection includes rare pieces from Elephanta and the Indus Valley, amongst others. There are miniature paintings, decorative arts, sculptures in various media, weaponry etc. There are some exhibits covering natural history too.
