Briefly describe the history of the museum, its collection and donors.
One of the more popular museums in Mumbai, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangralaya houses a varied range of artefacts, covering natural history, sculptures, textiles, pre- and proto- historic art, decorative art, Indian miniature paintings, European paintings, Chinese and Japanese antiquities, numismatics, and prints. The museum also organizes regular exhibitions from other museums on various artists, eras, and communities. The lattice carved ivory jewellery from the Mughal period, personal armour of Akbar, coins from the times of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and from that of Chandragupta II from the 4th century A.D., and snuff bottles from the Chinese Art collection are some of the exhibits to not be missed at this museum.
