Field Trip to Musuem
Field Trip to Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Byculla Mumbai
During the rainy season our Class Std IV of I.E.S Manik Vidya Mandir, Bandra, Mumbai went on a field trip to Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Byculla, Mumbai.
We had to assemble at the school in the morning. At around 9.00 am we boarded the bus for the field trip to Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum.
Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum is the oldest museum in Mumbai. The Museum's collection showcases the Industrial Arts and life in nineteenth century Mumbai. The year 2007 marked the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Museum Collection.
Public funds were raised to house the collection in a grand Palladian building with high Victorian interiors that was completed and opened to the public on May 2, 1872 as the Victoria & Albert Museum. The museum was renamed the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in 1975 in honour of the man whose vision and dedication ensured its establishment.
The Museum's collection is made up of a fine and decorative arts collection which showcases the importance of craftsmanship skills nurtured by various communities. It also has an extraordinary collection of clay models and dioramas that document the different communities who contributed to the development of Mumbai and their culture and lifestyle in the 19th and early 20th century.
We visited the various Galleries in the Museum like Industrial Arts Gallery, Origins of Mumbai Gallery, 19th Century Paintings Gallery etc.
It is a Museum about Museums. It tells us how museums were first conceived and presented, and about the early objectives and aspirations. Besides its spectacular beauty and unique architecture, the collection shows the extraordinary talents of Indian master craftsmen and Early Modern artists. The section on Mumbai is particularly interesting giving a peek into an almost real life account of the 19th century through dioramas and models which are unique to the Museum.
