The famous Prince of Wales Museum is located in Mumbai, India, very British style, very typical European architecture, this is the cultural wealth left by the British colonial period, it is lingering.
[Location] Not far from the Indian Gate, not accessible. [Tickets] Foreigners 650 rupees, including explanation, no Chinese, English, press the number, compare a map, you can also find the number on the exhibit, listen to the explanation. Mobile phones, cameras, and cameras have to pay an additional 100 rupees for shooting, but it is really not strict, even in the museum, the flash is almost blind to me... [Environmental layout] It is said to be the largest museum in India, hmmm, okay. But the layout is better than the National Museum in Delhi, Easy to find. There are a total of three floors, basically around the center, the main exhibition room is there. The wing is basically not very important. The hall looks up and you can see the Indian-Mughal-style buildings. Basically, most of the castle palaces seen in India are like this. If you like to see portraits and fine paintings, you can enjoy it. I especially like the Krsna exhibition hall. The exhibition is fine painting, but the words are so poetic and beautiful.
The Prince of Wales Museum of West India was founded in 1909 and officially opened in 1921 in Mumbai, India. The museum, named after the Prince of Wales (later George V), is one of the largest museums in India and designed by British architects.
Very recommended, for friends who like art, historical and cultural heritage, this is a treasure, the inside and outside are amazing!
The museum is magnificent and the exhibition is rich in content.
