Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, Bombay The Prince of Wales Museum was established to commemorate the Crown Prince's visit to Bombay in 1905. The future George V laid the foundation stone and work began on the building which was designed and built to represent the ancient and medieval architectural styles of western India. The basalt stone structure with its large central dome inspired by the Bijapur domes and beautiful gardens are set in a crescent shaped piece of land. The major endeavour of the Art section at the museum was to develop its collection of Indian paintings so that it represents the different styles and phases. Consequently the collection presents the evolution of painting in India, ranging between 11^th and 12^th century illustrated palm leaf manuscripts to early 19^th century Pahari paintings. Exquisite examples of all the main schools of miniature painting are on view, Rajput, Mughal, Pahari, and Deccani Each school with its characteristic style has its own delicacy of form and colour. Looking at the different paintings it is obvious that the fine excellence of the Mughal and Rajasthani schools, from 16^th to 19^th century, only emerged out of past influences, indigenous Indian as well as Persian, Turkish and central Asian. This has been conceived according to the Museum's policy, to make it an important cultural and educational centre.
