Oldest Museum


Inside the Bahu Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai. It was modeled on the lines of the Victoria and Albert Museum of London.
From my archives.

The Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum is the oldest museum in Mumbai. It was originally established in 1855 as a treasure house of the decorative and industrial arts, and was later renamed in honour of Dr. Bhau Daji Lad. Wikipedia
