The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, formerly the Prince of Wales Museum, is Mumbai's premier museum, housed in a domed Indo-Saracenic landmark set in gardens. Its wide-ranging collection spans ancient Indian sculpture, Mughal miniatures, decorative arts, and a natural history wing. It is large enough to need a couple of hours, and a few galleries feel dated, but the building and headline pieces are well worth it.
