The Walavalkar Shivaji Museum was opened in tribute to the life of Shivaji. The great Maratha ruler’s life history is depicted and presented through exhibits of pictures and statues. Completed in a period of fifteen years, the Museum took a large sum of money to construct. The stunningly beautiful Museum was brought in to existence by the great social worker Sitarambuva Walavalkar, who took immense pain in making sure that Walavalkar Shivaji matched the splendour and grandeur of Museums across the country. This museum echoes feel-good entertainment of an imitative pop-art variety and displays glimpses and snippets from Shivaji’s life. One of the primary tourist hotspots in the town of Chiplun, the Museum is fast gathering popularity amongst travellers from across the country and rest of the world. Not only does it not bore with dull depictions, the Museum’s use of pop-art sensibilities makes it a unique art hall, which finds favour with all passionate art lovers. A hub of activity all through the year, the Walavalkar Shivaji Museum is a must-see, especially if you’re travelling in and around Chiplun. If it’s the weather that keeps you from travelling, pick any time after the month of September to travel to Chiplun and visit the hallowed Walavalkar Shivaji Museum.
