Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum

Watch the Monday closure

The museum is commonly closed on Monday, so avoid building a tight Byculla plan around that day.

Notice the interiors

The restored staircases, columns and decorative details are as important as the display cases.

Combine with Rani Baug

Because the museum sits by the zoo and gardens, it can anchor an easy Byculla half-day.

Use it during hot hours

Midday is a sensible slot when outdoor Mumbai sightseeing feels draining.

Look for city models

The older maps and models help connect present-day Mumbai to the shape of colonial Bombay.
