FD Alpaiwala Museum, Mumbai

Mumbai

Museum

The FD Alpaiwala Museum, named after a Parsi merchant, is run by the Parsi Panchayat of Bombay. The museum was open for public in 1954. But it had to be restored in 1984, which was done by the Panchayat. There are many rare items on display here-such as an archaic chest belonging to Dadabhai Nowroji and a silver clock belonging to Sir Jamshedjee Jejeebhoy is one of the star displays.

Set up in 1952, this museum is Mumbai's only community museum. It started out as a showcase for the artifacts and relics that Alpaiwalla, a Parsi bullion merchant, collected from around the world. This includes material from Parsi scholar Jamshed Unwalla's archaeological digs in Susa in Iran, an ancient astodan to store the bones of the dead, paintings of pre-Zorastrian myths and photos of famous Parsis and some wonderful archaeological findings from Iran & old photos of famous Parsis.
