National Museum of Indian Cinema

Opened in 2019, the National Museum of Indian Cinema covers the full journey of Indian film, starting from the arrival of cinema in the country in the late 1800s. The museum is spread across a heritage building and a newer complex, with old cameras, costumes, posters, and memorabilia on display alongside interactive sections on how films are made. Given how central Bollywood is to Mumbai's identity, this museum fills a gap that most other city museums, which lean more towards history and art, don't cover. It's a good stop for both film fans and anyone curious about how Indian cinema grew over the decades.
