A museum based on the life and times of Chtrapati Shivaji Maharaj is being established in an area 20,000 square feet in the Chatrapati Shivaji Bhawan. The civil work is in full swing. Our efforts to collect old weapons, coins, artifacts, copies of old documents and aerial photographs of Shivaji’s forts have been successful to some extent. We are still striving to get other items such as paintings, models of ships & forts etc.
Aim of this museum will be to impart information about the life and glorious deeds of Shri Chtrapati Shivaji Maharaj to inspire younger generation. The emphasis will be on his fore-farsightedness, ideal personal behavior, valor, love for his land and people and respect for all religions.
The museum will also bring out certain aspects like his respect for women, compassion for poor and awareness about the environment, which was rare in his times.
