HISTORY
Founded in the early 1900s, Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya is one of the
premier cultural institutions in the country. On
14th August 1905, a number of prominent people
of Bombay gathered at the Town Hall and
resolved to erect a Memorial to the visit of the
Prince of Wales (later King George V) in the form
of a public Museum which, would be named after
him. The meeting was attended by Sir
Pherozeshah Mehta, Justice Badrudin Tyabji,
Narotamdas Gokuldas, Justice Chandavarkar,
Sassoon J. David and many other dignitaries
known for their outstanding contribution in their
respective fields and also in the development of
the island of Bombay. The Foundation Stone of
the Museum was laid by the Prince of Wales on
11th November 1905 and the Museum was
named Prince of Wales Museum of Western India.
For a long time people had also felt the need for
a good museum in the city and finally the

Sculptures and coins transferred from the Poona
Museum in Pune and the collections of the
Bombay branch of the Royal Asiatic Society
resulted in the development of an archaeological
section, with precious sculptures and epigrams.
The Indus Valley Culture Gallery houses fishing
hooks, weapons, ornaments and weights and
measures from the Indus Valley Civilization
(26001900 BCE). Artefacts from the excavation
of the Buddhist stupa of Mirpurkhas, were housed
in the Museum in 1919. The sculpture collection
holds Gupta (280 to 550 CE) terracotta figures
from Mirpurkhas in Sind of the early 5th century,
artefacts dating to the Chalukyan era (6th-12th

MACC raises funds for its activities through its various projects. Various
private individuals and institutions have come forward to adopt some of
the museum collection for conservation. Few of our projects have
been; Conservation restoration treatment of the 16th Century illustrated

The Documentation unit meticulously records all the work activities of the
centre. It also prepares the graphic condition reports, maintains treatment
records, and digitizes the information that is generated on a daily basis.
The first step towards ensuring the safety of art collections is the
preparation of a conservation status report or the condition report. It is
this document that by inspection of the collection, identification of the
potential risks and recognition of objective signs of damage, helps to
propose a methodology for conservation and prepare an estimate of
conservation costs.
