Old & New, originally uploaded by raven_b.

The beautiful dome of Prince of Wales Museum shines above the trees in its garden, while towers of BSE dominate the background.

The Prince of Wales museum is now known as ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya’ under the CS-isation policy of maharashtra governments. Interestingly, the official website for the museum is still www.bombaymuseum.com . Yes, not even ‘Mumbai’ museum. Moreover, spellings for the new CS-ised name are wrong even on the placeholder for the homepage. A better place for information on the museum is its wikipedia entry here: Prince of Wales museum
