🏙️ Where to Find Art Deco in Mumbai Stroll along Marine Drive, often called the “Queen’s Necklace,” and you’ll find yourself surrounded by sleek, curved facades and vibrant pastel buildings. The Oval Maidan area is another hotspot, where Art Deco gems stand proudly next to Gothic Revival structures, showcasing Mumbai’s eclectic architectural heritage. Don’t miss the Eros Cinema or the iconic Regal Cinema, which still exude the old-world charm of cinema’s golden age.
🎨 What Makes Art Deco Unique? Art Deco is all about clean lines, geometric shapes, and bold colors, inspired by the industrial age and modern luxury. In Mumbai, it’s often paired with tropical motifs—look out for sunburst patterns, ziggurats, and nautical themes in the details.
💫 Why It Matters Today These buildings aren’t just architectural beauties—they’re a link to Mumbai’s cosmopolitan past, when the city was buzzing with new ideas and optimism. Today, they’re part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolizing the rich cultural legacy of this vibrant metropolis.
