When I think of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS), what comes to mind is air, light and space. So, don't blame me for feeling disappointed when we reach the Children's Museum, relegated to the far end of the CSMVS.

There's colour for sure. Coloured windmills that act like breadcrumbs to show the way there. We explore the outdoors first: there are stone benches resembling magical toadstools around the towering Baobab tree, a large dangling nest installation perched with an array of birds, an archaeology pit and a gardening area ready for use. I love the easels perched on the grounds.
