What to do and see in Fort, Maharashtra: The Best Museums

January 30, 2022 Cedrick Jardin

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.

Reviewed By kanakkaryjayan - Kottayam, India

Even if you are not interested in history, you will be trapped here once entered. Well arranged museum displays a lot of ancient history items, stuffed animals, birds etc will steal your mind. The building itself is a wonderful creation. One day required to cover every parts in detail. A twenty minute video 'Mumbai experience' in Marathi and English can be watched by paying additional fee (Now Rs.50/head) at the entrance itself. For camera another Rs.50 to be paid. You have to keep your luggage except ladies hand bag in the entrance counter. A food stall available immediately inside the gate. Rates are moderate. Wash room available near the entrance and inside the museum building also. Drinking water facility also provided.

This RBI monetary museum displayed evolution of Indian currencies notes and coins in an exemplary way. Good place to learn about currencies, finance and economy as they are in detailed.

Method is an independent creative art space in Mumbai's art district, Kala Ghoda. Adding to the fabric of this eclectic city, the space elevates artists breaking traditional definitions of "fine art". Contemporary, street, modern and at times even classic art that embodies boldness of form and freedom from the norm, Method is the fringe leftfield.
