A small heritage museum within the 1878-built Bombay High Court, one of the oldest High Courts in India and a striking example of Gothic Revival architecture designed by James Trubshawe. The museum showcases judicial history, vintage courtroom furnishings and photographs documenting the court's role since colonial Bombay. Visitors can also observe the grand central hall and stone carvings that define the building's Gothic character. The High Court remains a fully functioning judicial institution alongside its heritage museum.
