Sharma was impressed with the vast collection at the museum and discussed the exhibits in detail.  “It is a nice place with dedicated staff, and it should be shifted closer to south Mumbai. The current location is an odd place and hardly any people will tend to visit such a place. Also, it is three floors of climbing and will be difficult for everyone to visit. There is a need to move this to a better place. We will see what we can do,” Sharma said.
