Mumbai: The Central Railways (CR) has decided to reduce the price of entry tickets to the Heritage Gallery situated on the ground floor of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus building for the benefit of visitors from January 30, 2023. The viewing time table will also be revised.
According to a senior officer of CR, on January 30, the ticket counter of the heritage gallery will open from 11am to 4pm (with viewing time from 11am to 5pm) and entry tickets will be reduced to Rs50 for adults and Rs20 for students. The current price for adults is Rs200 and Rs50 for students.
Currently, the viewing time of the gallery is 2pm to 5pm. The museum was closed on March 13, 2020, due to Covid pandemic and reopened on October 17, 2022.
