REVITALIZATION
The Museum Restoration Project won the 2005 UNESCO Asia Pacific Heritage Award
of Excellence for Conservation.
INTRODUCTION
The Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai's oldest museum, is an institution of
the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM). Formerly known as the
Victoria & Albert Museum, Bombay, the building first opened to public in 1872.
The Museum collection showcases the history and culture of the city.
By 1997, the Museum had fallen into a state of disrepair. In 2003, a tripartite,
public-private partnership between the MCGM, the Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation
and INTACH established the 'Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum Trust' to restore,
administer and manage the Museum.
After five years of intensive restoration by the Indian National Trust for Art and
Cultural Heritage (INTACH), it was re-opened to the public on January 4,
2008.

JAISALMIR FORT , RAJASTHAN
Today, Jaisalmer Fort remains a labyrinth of residences, shops, temples, and a palace complex. Its
walls surround a thriving city; its 2,000 residents make this the last living fort in India. Conservation and
preservation is integral to the longevity of this medieval architectural marvel and to the lives of people
who call Jaisalmer Fort home
Due to severe changes in climate and life style, there is irreversible damage to the structures. Adding
to it, repair patterns with modern materials caused further damage. The traditional building practices
involved use of stone and lime mortar or local material for construction as well as repair. This helped
the structures. Efforts are now being made to bring these practices back with the education of locals.
The new construction done in Jaisalmer city is a mix of traditional and modern building practices. The
stone used is not the same but still similar in qualities. However, the construction techniques of stone
masonry are still alive.
