About this Museum
Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum is Mumbai’s oldest museum, established in 1857, and a significant cultural landmark in Byculla. Housed in a beautifully restored Palladian-style heritage building, the museum documents the history, development and cultural life of Mumbai through an impressive collection of art, decorative objects, maps, photographs and historical artefacts. The museum's galleries explore the transformation of Mumbai from a group of islands into a major global city. Visitors can discover 19th-century models, maps, photographs, textiles, decorative arts and objects that provide insight into the city's architecture, communities, industries and social history. Beyond its permanent collection, the museum regularly presents contemporary art exhibitions, cultural programmes, workshops, lectures and educational activities, creating a connection between Mumbai's historical heritage and its contemporary creative community. The museum's ornate interiors, stained-glass windows, decorative ceilings and historic architecture make the building itself an important part of the visitor experience.
