The Ghandi Museum tells the story of India's independence hero while the Prince of Wales Museum has an impressive collection of Mughal and Rajasthani miniatures. The Towers of Silence on Malabor Hill were built by Zoroastrians fleeing persecution in Persia to serve as an open air mortuary for their dead. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus Station, is the main railway station in Mumbai. It is a superb example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in India and incorporates many aspects of traditional Indian palace architecture.
