Mumbai, Bombay, Bambai, Bom Bahia, Bombaim. These variations in the name of our city reflect its layered histories. Recently, we spotted a lovely ode to its multifaceted past at The Museum Shop in Byculla’s Dr Bhau Daji Lad City Museum in the form of posters. Conceptualised by the museum’s director Tasneem Zakaria Mehta and designer Radhika Chopra, these 23x32 inches posters showcase decisive periods in the city’s timeline. Hit the rewind button to the 16th century to witness the era when the Portuguese ruled over the seven islands.
