It was founded in the early years of the 20th century by prominent citizens of Mumbai, with the help of the government, to commemorate the visit ofEdward VIII, who was Prince of Wales at the time. It is located in the heart of South Mumbai near the Gateway of India. The museum was renamed in the 1990s or early 2000s after Shivaji, the founder of Maratha Empire.
