Project Learnings and Monument Information

What We Learned from Our Interviews:

1. The Gateway of India:

It's best to visit between 5 pm and 7 pm in summer to see the beautiful sunset.
On weekends, it gets very crowded. There's a special exit gate near the Taj Hotel to help manage all the people.

2. Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sanghralay:

The museum we visited is over 100 years old and needs a lot of care.
Special architects who know about old buildings help take care of it.
The museum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means it's very important and must be protected carefully.
