Mahatma Gandhi Museum - Museum in New Delhi, Delhi - Central, India

Gandhi was the man Literally knowing nothiiiiing about India as I arrived in the heart of New Delhi with her 32,000,000 residence I knew it was time to educate myself on at least some of the basics I knew about Gandhi for quite some time from different books I had read over the years but never anything specially about him. Definitely knew he had many great quotes from over his lifetime and not the least of which was my personal favorite: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." These words always resonated with me on many different levels over the decades... Simple but effective..... Much like the man himself This was an incredible museum walking you through the life of this amazing individual. Starting with his birth, on through his early years in South Africa (I had no clue), his walk through India later in life, up to his assassination (I had no clue) In this museum they have the actual garment he was wearing when his life was taken as well as his famous one and only pocket watch... Not to mention one of the actual bullets pulled from his body. This part of the museum was pretty moving and very well done Spent the afternoon here and learned quiiiiiite a lot about the man, the myth, the legend and I'm definitely better for it

The exhibitions are great but it's very time consuming as a lot of reading needs to be done.

This place is basically a visual biography of Gandhi. Every event of his life is represented by an image which is either a photograph or a sketch. One can quickly lose interest here as the texts for the images aren't placed conveniently, has no air conditioning, no guide, no audio tours etc It's highlight is that one may find documents and rare pictures of Gandhi which is not easily available online.

Awesome place to grasp the Historic witnesses.

This complex houses various things which I will mention below: Generic information first - toilets are neat and clean. There is a mini canteen inside the complex and a full service canteen in the parking lot. Food is good, quantity sufficient and prices reasonable. One can also buy evergreen Choley Kulcha for Rs20 a plate outside the parking lot from a street vendor. Parking is free. Souvenir shop is there in parking lot. This complex along with Rajghat, deserves a day worth of visit. Museum - it consists of hundreds of photographs and paintings of his lifetime of work with detailed descriptions. It is structured in rooms in progression and also houses the boat in which he traveled, the jeep in which his body was carried for cremation and more things. Entry is free. It is very well ventilated which makes it difficult to spend sufficient time during extreme winters or summers. Journey through sculptures made of mud - they are also in the process of installing touch screen informative computer screens. Khadi Outlet - this is where various types of garments are made from Khadi cloth and are sold here too. Decent collection. Library - tons of books, free for all to read here. Books outlet - where they sell books. IGNOU - Office of Indira Gandhi National Open University. Always crowded by College goers and their parents to collect books and other work. Khadi Gram Udyog Training Center - where trainings are conducted on various things often sold through Khadi Outlets like honey business. Industrial Training Center - an excellent place which offers short term courses for a long list of vocations. Incubation Center - which organizes half day workshops on various businesses followed by active assistance in guiding to scale and run a business

[This review has been written in English, and is therefore not an automatic Google translation into this language.] One of the most iconic places I have had the opportunity to visit. Mahatma Gandhi deceased here. An impacting visit for sure. His last footsteps and unexpected memorabilia within the museum are not only inspiring, but help understand one of the most important episodes in human history surely much better than any documentary. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Dominik Kozanda Dr. | M.A (Spain) | M.A (Spain) | B.A (United Kingdom) | B.A (Germany) | B.A (Spain).

For someone so famous and so important I would have thought the museum would be much better. It has pictures and some objects but nothing compared to what it should be. The memorial outside where his cremated remains are easy to miss with a small sign indicating what it is
