Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya

The restoration of the 100-year-old Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya in Mumbai has won a top award from UNESCO, with the jury hailing it as a project that "sets a standard" for the conservation of world heritage monuments.

A majority of museums and cultural repositories in India stand at risk of suffering "grave damage" in the event of a major fire, an international expert has cautioned and suggested that a disaster management plan should be properly implemented by these institutions.

With Jehangir Art Gallery's Cafe Samovar set to close by the end of this month as a result of a court order, the city will lose a landmark and artists will have to say goodbye to one of their favourite hangouts.
