I love to explore and read and check out the objects and paintings that are on display. Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum surprised me with its classy interiors and the number of objects they have on display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of size, the Prince of Wales Museum is definitely larger, but Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum is no less. The moment you enter the museum the interior d\u00e9cor of the museum captures your attention. The long hall of the museum makes it look grand right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The museum is closed on Wednesdays and certain public holidays. So, make sure you don\u2019t visit the museum on public holidays. The museum also offers pay and park facilities within the compound for two-wheel vehicles, cars and buses. It is also wheelchair friendly and has ramps and hydraulic lifts to access the first floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The curatorial team of the <a href=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/dr-bhau-daji-lad-museum-revival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"museum (opens in a new tab)\">museum<\/a> is very friendly and supportive and provides free public tours on weekends. So, if you are visiting the museum on weekends you can ask for it. You can also check out the timings of free public tours on the official website page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large wp-image-4589\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/East-Garden-of-the-Museum-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"East Garden of the Museum\" class=\"wp-image-4589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/East-Garden-of-the-Museum-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/East-Garden-of-the-Museum-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/East-Garden-of-the-Museum-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/East-Garden-of-the-Museum-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/East-Garden-of-the-Museum-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/East-Garden-of-the-Museum.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>East Garden of the Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large wp-image-4584\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/A-Clock-Tower-Outside-the-Museum-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A Clock Tower Outside the Museum\" class=\"wp-image-4584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/A-Clock-Tower-Outside-the-Museum.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/A-Clock-Tower-Outside-the-Museum-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/A-Clock-Tower-Outside-the-Museum-585x780.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>A Clock Tower Outside the Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the museum building, there is an open space behind the museum (Museum Plaza) which you can access. You can explore some open painting galleries here after exploring the museum. Museum Plaza offers a unique way to the visitors to explore art and culture in a natural environment. I loved the open art gallery concept where I can appreciate the art and nature at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large wp-image-4597\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Museum-Plaza-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Museum Plaza\" class=\"wp-image-4597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Museum-Plaza-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Museum-Plaza-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Museum-Plaza-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Museum-Plaza-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Museum-Plaza-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Museum-Plaza.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Appreciate Art at the Museum Plaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large wp-image-4599\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Special-Project-Space-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Special Project Space\" class=\"wp-image-4599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Special-Project-Space-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Special-Project-Space-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Special-Project-Space-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Special-Project-Space-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Special-Project-Space-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Special-Project-Space.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Special Project Space behind the Museum building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I also got the opportunity to participate in a lecture \u2018<em>Marathi<\/em> <em>Katta<\/em>\u2019 by Amol Palekar. He is an eminent actor, director, painter, and producer of Hindi and Marathi films and theatre. This was a bonus for me as I am a great fan of his work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palekar has won six State Awards for Best Actor and many of his films have fetched him critical acclaim. For events like this, the museum has transformed a dilapidated cottage into Museum\u2019s Education Centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the museum organises lectures, seminars, and audiovisual interactions. The cottage has state-of-the-art equipment for effective communication and retains its Victorian interior d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large wp-image-4585\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Amol-Palekar-at-the-Museum-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Amol Palekar\" class=\"wp-image-4585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Amol-Palekar-at-the-Museum-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Amol-Palekar-at-the-Museum-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Amol-Palekar-at-the-Museum-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Amol-Palekar-at-the-Museum-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Amol-Palekar-at-the-Museum-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/travelindiadestinations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Amol-Palekar-at-the-Museum.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Mr Amol Palekar sharing his views about the Marathi theatre and cinema and its history<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Right next to it is the Museum Shop. Here you can buy books, diaries, postcards, paperweight clocks, fridge magnets, coasters, t-shirts and key chains. The designs take inspiration from the Museum\u2019s collection which makes it unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to take a quick bite, the Museum Caf\u00e9 is here to offer a selection of snacks.
