About
Mumbai's premier museum, founded in 1922 as the Prince of Wales Museum and renamed after Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, houses over 50,000 artefacts spanning Indian art, archaeology and natural history. Its Indo-Saracenic dome and gardens were designed by architect George Wittet. Collections range from Indus Valley antiquities and Mughal miniatures to Company School paintings and a dedicated natural history wing. It remains one of India's most comprehensive general museums and a key stop on any Mumbai heritage itinerary.
Did you know? CSMVS was originally named the Prince of Wales Museum after a visit by the future King George V — its Indo-Saracenic dome was designed to blend Mughal, Maratha and British architectural elements in one building.
