This is an amazing place. A must go for every one. After spending 4 hours, we covered just the ground floor. Entire top floor is to be explored yet. Every student must be taken there. Was lucky to attend a programme by natural streets for performing arts there...

Bhau Daji Lad Museum is the oldest museum in Mumbai. It is a 2 minute walk from Byculla station, on the east side. The building is built in European style,with high ceilings and Victorian pillars. The imported Minton tiles and the beautiful ceiling takes one back to the masterly craftsmanship of nineteenth century. The museum had a major restoration exercise between 2000 and 2009 Many of the arts and crafts of India are on display on the ground floor. The museum holds decorative metal ware, bronze sculptures, weapons, fossils and ivory paintings.

The exhibits are not ancient. These masterpieces are the example of western artefacts with Indianism. 19th-20th-century exhibits are kept for a public display. The ground floor holds these artefacts and the first floor showcases the history of Mumbai. I am sure, you will love the first floor as it unfolds the 7-island magic. You will be amazed to see how Mumbai was formed from a barren land. The upper floor also has an exhibition hall which is used to various events. The guided tour takes around 1 hour. The tour is free for the public which starts at 11.30 am on weekends. Costing, Parking, How to reach & other info The museum is next to Byculla Zoo, 5 minutes walk away from Byculla railway station. A pay-&-park facility is available at the museum. Entry ticket to the museum is Rs 10. The guided tour is free. The private tour charges Rs 600 per head. An audio guide is also available with the cost of just Rs 30. Photography is allowed inside the museum, but make sure flash is off. The museum starts at 10 am & closes at 6 pm. Interesting facts about the museum 1) The museum was named as ‘Victoria & Albert Museum”. It still has a logo with this name. 2) The artefacts are made by Indians for the European market for sale. 3) The museum was shot with Art cameras by Google in 2016. 4) The pillars of the museum hold 24-carat gold. 5) The flooring of the museum is designed by hand-made tiles. 6) Outside the museum, you’ll find an elephant rock which was shipped from Elephanta island. 7) The museum is a perfect place to witness Mumbai’s history. 8) All building material, building plan, statues were shipped from England.

Especially love the Bombay connection of the pieces on display - old photographs and relief maps. Love the galleries where Art Exhibits are given space. Movies and events at the museum are lovely and worth attending.
