What travelers are saying
- MB201065Worcestershire, UK299 contributions20 rupee entrance fee to see this museum, worthy of a visit. Plenty of photo opportunities and a few purchases at the entrance.Written March 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PANDEY JIVaranasi, India1,637 contributionsChhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya or Mumbai Museum is located in Colaba. Next to the museum is the Jehangir Art Gallery. It's not a very big museum and a large portion of the museum is donated by the TATA family. One can easily see the museum in around 3 hours.
The museum is divided in multiple sections.
The audio guide is pretty useless as it covers only a handful of artefacts. Must visit if you're in Mumbai.Written April 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
