Technically in the same compound as the Prince of Wales
Museum, though approached from further up MG Rd is Jehangir Art
Gallery. The construction of the Gallery was completed in 1952. It
is Mumbai’s best-known venue for contemporary art and is
frequently used for art and photographic exhibitions. Here, the
visitor can get an idea of modern Indian painting and sculpture. The
Gallery is open for five days: Monday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm.
Just outside the entrance, at the junction of Rampart Row and
Mahatma Gandhi Road is one of the finest statues in Bombay, an
equestrian statue of King Edward VII, by Boehm.
