The famous Prince of Wales Museum is located in Mumbai, India. It has a very British style and typical European architecture. It is a cultural treasure left over from the British colonial period that will make you linger.
【Location】Not far from the Gate of India, but not accessible by foot. 【Tickets】650 rupees for foreigners, including explanations. There is no Chinese, but English. You can press the numbers and check a map, or you can find the numbers on the exhibits and listen to the explanations. Mobile phones, cameras, and video cameras need to pay an additional 100 rupees for shooting, but the management is really lax. Even in the museum, the flash almost blinded 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 and easy to find. There are three floors in total. Basically, you can go around the center and the main exhibition rooms are all there. The wings are basically not important. Looking up in the hall, you can see the Indian-Mughal style architecture. Basically, most of the castles and palaces seen in India are of this type. If you like to see statues and miniature paintings, you can enjoy it. I especially like the Krishna exhibition hall, which exhibits miniature paintings, but the accompanying words are so poetic and beautiful.
The Prince of Wales Museum of Western India is located in Mumbai, India. It was built in 1909 and officially opened in 1921. Named after the Prince of Wales (later George V), it is one of the largest museums in India and was designed by a British architect.
