Bombay
Natural History Society
Adjoining the Prince of Wales Museum is an institution of a different kind where
collectors have been donating their prize specimens for over a century.
One whole floor of Hornbill House, the Society's headquarters, is devoted to
beetles and butterflies all neatly eaxonomized. Another floor contains hundreds
of jars full of embalmed reptiles, plus drawer after drawer of birds and animals
pelts.
It is possible to join the society as a temporary member for the duration of
your stay in Mumbai. That entitles you to use BNH's extensive library of nature
books. There are lectures and slide shows throughout the week.
