Prince of Wales Museum
The Prince of Wales Museum, now known as the Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, was founded in the early 20th century
to commemorate the visit of (eventual King of the United Kingdom)
George V. The museum houses over 50,000 exhibits of ancient Indian
history, as well as artefacts from other lands. The museum's
greatest areas of focus are art, archaeology and natural history.
The Indus Valley Civilisation section is particularly
impressive.

Money

100 paise (singular paisa). Major currencies can be changed at
banks, and authorised bureaux de changes. It is impossible to
obtain rupees outside India, but no matter what time you arrive in
India there will be an exchange office open at the airport. It is
illegal to exchange money through the black market and it is
advisable to refuse torn notes, as no one will accept them apart
from the National Bank. It is best to change money into small
denominations. Travellers cheques and major credit cards are widely
accepted, particularly in tourist orientated establishments. ATMs
are not generally available.
