Mumbai, once known as Bombay is the city of contrasts. It is home to the billionaires of India and also to some of the poorest who live on the streets. Here you will find people working for hours to make their ends meet. In addition, you\u2019ll find people just sitting idle watching the crowd pass by. Mumbai provides a view of the modern India but still retains its history. In this three-part series, we explore the history of Mumbai. Before I proceed, I would like to thank the museum officials for their quick email note. In addition, for allowing me to take pictures and for providing me guided tour and sharing information. All images are courtesy of Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum and clicked without using any camera flash.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum<\/p><\/div>\n

Located right in the heart of the city is Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum<\/a>, earlier known as the Victoria & Albert Museum. The museum is right next to the Jijamata Udyaan. Earlier known as Rani Baug (Queen\u2019s Garden) or Victoria Garden. It is likely that you might have missed this building standing here for over a century.<\/p>\n

A Little Back in Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

The concept of this museum was born in London somewhere around 1850. Bombay then was growing rapidly and was the richest trading town in India. A city museum was vital to celebrate and honour the country\u2019s rich cultural traditions. A museum which would reflect the diversity of culture and traditions in Bombay.<\/p>\n

Right next is a brief information on Jamnalal & Kamalnayan Bajaj. The museum restoration work was financially supported by the Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum opened in 1857 and it is the oldest museum in Bombay. It is the third oldest museum in India after Indian Museum (1814) in Kolkata and Madras Museum (1851) in Chennai.<\/p>\n

In 1851 the first \u2018Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations\u2019 took place in London\u2019s Crystal Palace. It was during the preparation time of this event that Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria decided that it would be ideal to display the industrial arts and crafts of the British colonies to the world to boost Britain\u2018s trade.<\/p>\n

In 1855, the \u201cCentral Museum of Natural History, Economy, Geology, Industry and Arts\u201d museum came up in Town Barracks. Replica of the beautiful arts and crafts sent to the Great Exhibition from the Bombay Presidency became the highlights of the museum\u2019s core collection.<\/p>\n

In 1858, the Crown took over the governance of India from the East India Company. Many active citizens of Bombay were of the opinion that a public institution needs to be built in Bombay.<\/p>\n

\"Bhau

The spectacular long hall leaves you speechless<\/p><\/div>\n

Affluent and honourable citizens of the city attended the public meeting at the Town Hall. People from different communities including Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Parsis were present here. Jagannath Shankar Sheth, one of the eminent merchants of Bombay chaired the meeting. The meeting focused on the collection of funds for the construction of the museum building.<\/p>\n

\"Bhau

Do comment on what you think of the interiors.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr Bhau Daji Lad and Dr George Birdwood were the secretaries of the Museum Committee. They were in charge of raising funds to establish the building and also to enlarge the museum collection. Due to lack of funds, the museum building took ten years to construct. Dr Bhau Daji Lad was at the lead of urging citizens to donate generously to the museum.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Dr George Birdwood designed the original layout of the building. The basic design of the museum would include a long hall and Doric pillars inside. The design also includes galleries on either side of the building and large windows for light and ventilation. Architects of Scott McClelland and Company approved the building design. They retained many of the Birdwood\u2019s original designs.<\/p>\n

\"Sarah

A lot of thought went into creating the design of the building. Bombay being the richest city in India, the design has to dazzle the citizens. On the other hand, the design must reflect and showcase the Empire\u2019s might. Dr Birdwood chose the Grand Renaissance Revival style to design the building.<\/p>\n

On November 19, 1862, Governor Bartle Frere laid the cornerstone of the Museum. The event attended by the elite citizens of the city. On May 2, 1872, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Bombay was opened to the public.<\/p>\n

However, things didn’t go well with the museum after India’s Independence. The second part<\/a> of the series will be about the historic revival of Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum.<\/p>\n
