Here,
we help you explore some of the delights of the best museums of this
city. Most of Mumbai’s museums are dedicated to arts and crafts
that date back to the ancient times. If you are fond of astronomy,
then head towards 'Nehru Planetarium' situated in Worli. Famous for
various astronomical presentations, artistic works, and
documentaries, it is definitely worth a visit. 'Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya', that was earlier known as 'Prince of
Wales Museum’, displays archaeological discoveries, artworks and
artefacts connected with natural history. You can also walk through
the rooms of 'Bombay Natural History Society' to view its exhibits of
India’s natural history and other rare specimens.
The
Victoria and Albert Museum is one of Mumbai’s most prized
structures. Built in 1872, it is the oldest in the city and is now
known as 'Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum'. Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum
attracts agriculturists and those in the field of horticulture while
RBI Monetary Museum displays and treasures the monetary heritage of
India. Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) boasts of a high rank in
the list of India's Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). Founded in
1883, the organization aims to conduct research activities and other
observations on natural history. It also displays many rare specimens
and exhibits dating back in time. 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu
Sangrahalaya', was established in early 20th century. It is a
heritage structure in Mumbai and is known for its admirable
architecture.
Another
place worth visiting is Mani Bhawan - which is a memoir of Mahatma
Gandhi. It is located on Laburnam Road and pays rich testimony to the
works of the Father of the Nation. The main attributes of this
Gujarati style museum points back to the days when the mahatma laid
the foundation of independence movements like Satyagraha,
Non-Cooperation and Swadeshi. The National Gallery of Modern Art,
established in 1996 to promote modern Indian culture, is located in
Colaba in the southern precincts of the city and is worth a visit.
