Udyan - formerly named Victoria Gardens - is a lush and sprawling mid-19th-century
garden and zoo. It's home to this gorgeous museum, built in Renaissance revival style in
1872 as the Victoria & Albert Museum. It reopened in 2007 after an impressive and sens-
itive four-year renovation. In addition to extensive structural work, the building's Minton
tile floors, gilt ceiling mouldings, and ornate columns, chandeliers and staircases were re-
stored to their former historically-accurate glory. Even the sweet mint-green paint choice
was based on historical research. Also restored were the museum's 3500-plus objects cen-
tering on Mumbai's history - clay models of village life, photography and maps, textiles,
books and manuscripts, Bidriware, laquerware, weaponry and exquisite pottery, all set
