This simple museum is packed with exhibits and information. We particularly liked the room containing tableaux of scenes from Gandhi's life. It is a tranquil place full of atmosphere and a must for anyone visiting Mumbai.

The exhibition in this one of Gandhi's residences is worth taking time to see, the model display of his life gives a quick overview of what his life was about. You cannot fail to be moved by the thoughts and writings ofthis man

This was a small but interesting museum that depicted how Gandhi lived and the history of his life. I learned a lot I didn't know about Gandhi and his accomplishments.

A bit difficult to find, but it gives an interesting overview of Gandhi's life. Saw some other Gandhi musea in India as well and this one had the most extensive collection.
