This volume highlights the treasures of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, and houses a world-class collection of art objects. It is categorised primarily into three sections: Art, Archaeology and Natural History. The Museum has some fine and rare collections featuring ancient Indus Valley artefacts that date back to 3000 BC as well as relics from the Maurya and Gupta period (320 BC–AD 800). The Indian Miniature Painting Gallery houses art treasures from almost every significant school of miniature painting.
