The Prince of Wales Museum was built to commemorate King George V's first visit to Indian in 1905 , while he was still the Prince of Wales. Designed by George Wettet in grand Inso-Saracenic style, it stands in an ornamental garden and boasts a galleried central hall topped by a huge dome, said to have been inspired by the Gokgumbaz in Bijapur. It was opened to the public in 1923. In the ground floor gallery are impressive local sculptures from Elephanta Island, Parel, Thane and Jogeshwari.
