FIELD TRIP TO BHAU DAJI LAD MUSEUM

Field trips play an important role in practical learning. On Saturday, 19^th December, 2015, a trip for the students of Grade V was organized to the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum (formerly the Victoria and Albert Museum). Built in Greek Roman style, it is the oldest museum in Mumbai. It was originally established in 1855 as a treasure house of the decorative and industrial arts. With the patronage of many wealthy Indian businessmen and philanthropists the foundation of the new building was laid in 1862.

The museum enriched students with the knowledge of archeological findings, maps and photographs depicting the history of Mumbai. Students enjoyed seeing the art crafts depicting people of Mumbai and India, their occupation and recreation. Hindu deity and avatar, traditional crafts of Maharashtra, clay models, silver and copper ware and costumes. 

It was a fun and informative field trip, and absolute hands on learning experience for the children.
