Mumbai's largest museum, formerly the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, founded by the city's leading citizens in the early twentieth century to mark the visit of the Prince of Wales, in a stately domed Indo-Saracenic building near the Gateway of India. It traces India's history from prehistory to modern times with large collections of antiquities, Indian and Persian miniatures, decorated arms and armour, textiles, Chinese and Japanese ceramics and a natural history hall. A lovely garden surrounds the building, set in the Kala Ghoda arts district with its galleries and cafés; some galleries hold Hindu and Buddhist religious sculpture, so choose the rooms that suit you. Foreign adults pay ₹700, including an audio guide, and it opens daily 10:15–18:00, per India's official tourism portal. Allow two hours and pair it with the nearby Gateway of India.
