High Court Museum - Museum in Chandigarh - Chandigarh, India

Though still worth a visit, this museum is in need of an update (or honestly, even an enterprising young student willing to re-do the low quality faded graphics). A mix of court history and exhibits featuring the architectural background of the High Court building.

It's a tiny museum which covers the history of Punjab Highcourt from pre partition times, there are also cases of reports of some famous cases of preparation times. Would recommend if you are a partition or legal history enthusiast.

I continue to be amazed at the good ratings people give museums both out of date (this one seems to have 'stopped' in 2006) and visually uninspiring. The descriptions attached to pictures of the inauguration are laughable eg. "At Lunch". Even looking at every meagre offering, a 15-25 minute stay would be generous. This museum has almost nothing in it about the raison d'etre for Le Corbusier's design of the High Court, and only has a few documents and images on the wall relating to historic judgements and changes to the law in its sphere of influence and activity. NB: looking at other guide's reviews, I suspect they are commenting on the actual High Court and not the museum.

Reflecting the judicial system of old times.

It describes efforts of all personalities involved in making High court.

This is a little museum with several little artefacts with great historical significance. If you're a lawyer and interested in the history of Indian judiciary, you'd love the place. The only issue I had was that there was no way to turn pages and look beyond the page they set several books and documents to in the glass display box. I wish they offered at least an electronic display of all the pages. They also had a room where they displayed how a court used to be back in the day, and it was really fun to see.

High Court Museum located in Chandigarh Sector 1.The history is preserved very well maintained museum.On the approach road to the High Court, the small High Court Museum displays assorted judicial memorabilia including original Le Corbusier sketches, a signed copy of the Indian constitution and several pieces of evidence from notable court cases, including handcuffs worn by Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi's assassin.
