Photo: Wikimedia CommonsMumbai's oldest museum, restored to its 1872 grandeur, now stands guard over a giant replica of the Elephanta Caves' Trimurti.
Housed in a restored 1872 Palladian-style building in Byculla, this museum (formerly the Victoria and Albert Museum) focuses on decorative and industrial arts, clay models of Indian trades, and Mumbai's civic history. Its centrepiece is a giant fibreglass replica of the Elephanta Caves' Trimurti sculpture. Restored to its original grandeur through an award-winning conservation project in the 2000s, it also displays 19th-century clay figurines depicting Bombay street life. The building sits within the Byculla Zoo (Veermata Jijabai Bhonsale Udyan) grounds.
