Ballard Bunder Gatehouse, Maritime museum in Ballard Estate, Mumbai, India.
The Ballard Bunder Gatehouse stands as a Grade I Heritage structure with triple arches, displaying maritime artifacts and historic photographs of Mumbai.
George Wittet, chief architect of Bombay Port Trust, designed this gatehouse in 1920 to mark the harbor realignment at the former Ballard Pier location.
The museum collection contains six-foot anchors, lighthouse lights, navigation tools, and scale models representing Mumbai's maritime evolution through centuries.

The museum exhibits showcase diverse occupations from Mumbai's past, including detailed documentation of goldsmiths, mill workers, and maritime traders.
