Things to do in Mumbai, Maharashtra: The Best Museums
Though Mumbai can feel chaotic and crowded, there are peaceful moments to be found here. Nibble a paper cone of bhelpuri while you stroll the sands of Chowpatty Beach. Then, take a short walk to Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi once lived, strategized, and was ultimately arrested. The markets are spirited places to bargain for spices or souvenirs. Take a guided tour of Dharavi – made famous by "Slumdog Millionaire" – for an eye-opening glimpse into what Mumbai life is like for nearly a million people.

Mahatma Gandhi once lived in this simple, two-story building, which is now a museum, library and research center depicting Gandhi's life and struggles for Indian freedom through peaceful means.

Mani Bhavan was where Gandhi lived from 1917 to 1934, and it was the focal point of his political activities. It is now the most fascinating museum, containing many of his books and papers, and in which his very simple bedroom with spinning wheel, has been preserved just as he left it. One can stand on the very spot on his balcony where he addressed the crowds. Not to be mossed if you are visiting Mumbai

I can’t quite understand why this museum only has 4 reviews. A fabulous building set in beautiful grounds the museum houses a very interesting collection. Not to great to overwhelm but more than enough to interest. It’s well laid out with good signage. Originally build to commemorate the visit of the Price of Wales, later George V, in 1905. A rather splendid statue of him stands serenely in front of the building that one bore his title. Latterly it’s been renamed, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya museum. I guess this is part of a history cleansing exercise. Rather ironic for a museum.

The BNHS leads the effort in the study of natural history and it's conservation. They conduct study tours and field trips for amateurs as well. They have a gift shop which stocks a variety of gift products such as post cards, mugs, T shirts and more. The library is paradise for nature lovers and a hive for seeking knowledge
