Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS)

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) is one of the premier art & history museums in India. Located in Mumbai, the museum was designed by the Scottish architect George Wittet in 1909, featuring Indo-Saracenic architectural style. The museum boasts a vast collection of over 70,000 objects encompassing various forms of art from India, the far east, Nepal, Tibet, Southeast Asia, and Europe, including natural history specimens. CSMVS's commitment to sustainability is evident through its Platinum Certification from the IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) for being a Green Building, incorporating solar energy, water harvesting, and waste management. The institution also houses a state-of-the-art Art Conservation Centre and the city's first Children’s Museum. In addition, their Museum on Wheels initiative takes exhibitions to rural Maharashtra and Gujarat, reflecting a commitment to making art and history accessible to diverse communities. As an investor, the museum's rich history, commitment to sustainability, and innovative outreach programs demonstrate a unique value proposition. Its location on a crescent-shaped site in Mumbai, a Grade I Heritage Building listing, and inclusion within the UNESCO World Heritage precinct of the Victorian and Art Deco Ensemble in Mumbai further adds to its appeal. With its focus on contemporary concerns through collections and programs, CSMVS presents a compelling opportunity for investment in the cultural and design industries.
