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 arent placed conveniently, has no air conditioning, no guide, no audio tours etcIts highlight is that one may find documents and rare pictures of Gandhi which is not easily available online.

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

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.

A must visit museum for kids. Real accesories of Mahatma Gandhi ji are kept there. From the charkhas to the bullet he was shot from. Its an open for all, and no guidance will be provided. Its a two storey building with all history about MG. There is no food service in the campus, except a small shop which doesnt really have much of options other than a samosa and chhach.The museum is overall good. Its not very fancy, a little boring at times.

This is not a proper Museum as such but Gandhi Darshan, it showcases life of Mahatma through 100s of photo-pictures.The different phases of Mahatmas life are categorised and given a seperate compartment.Special Attractions: the boat used during Dandi March 1930 and the vehicle used to carry his mortal remains, miniscule Sabarmati Ashram models.This premises is mainly visited by Gandhian Scholars,Drinking water available. No entry fee,

The Mahatma Gandhi Sangrahalaya is a museum themed on the martyred Father of the Nation Bapu Mahatma Gandhi, located just opposite to his memorial at the Rajghat. It is a large complex with an upasanalaya themed upon Sabarmati Ashrama, exhibitions of the charka, and a huge collection of photographs of the life of Gandhiji and things he used in his lifetime. Photography/Videography is not allowed within the museum.

Gandhi Darshan is situated close to the Gandhi Samadhi at Rajghat on 36 acres of land. It offers a comprehensive exhibition on Gandhi spread out in four pavilions, a film auditorium, conference facilities for national and international camps, a children’s corner and a library.

The bullet that killed him, his loincloth stained with his blood, the wristwatch he carried in his last days, its all there.The library is one cool place if you want to educate yourself on Gandhiji or about Indias Independence in general. Its free. Theres also a movie room where they show a documentary on him every Sunday.

It will be a journey through the life and lifestyle of the great Mahatma. Youll be reminded of some of major incidents in our struggle for independence. A learning opportunity in the areas of our history.

This museum has all about Mahatma Gandhi. His recorded voice which you can listen using telephone receiver. You can reach here easily from ITO metro station or IP metro station. Raj Ghat is also at walking distance from this museum.

There is a lot to see here, so give yourself some decent time. Can get really noisy and hard to move in the week given school trips. The building itself is quite dated as is the manner in which artifacts are kept. Quite strange given Gandhis legacy.

The National Gandhi Museum or Gandhi Memorial Museum is a museum located in New Delhi, India showcasing the life and principles of Mahatma Gandhi. The museum first opened in Mumbai, shortly after Gandhi was assassinated in 1948. The museum relocated several times before moving to Rajghat, New Delhi in 1961.Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948. Shortly after his death, collectors began searching India for anything of importance about Gandhi. Originally the personal items, newspapers, and books related to Gandhi were taken to Mumbai. In 1951, the items were moved to buildings near the Kota House in New Delhi. The museum moved again in 1957 to a mansion.In 1959, The Gandhi Museum moved for a final time to Rajghat, New Delhi next to the Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi. The museum officially opened in 1961, on the 13th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhis assassination, when Dr. Rajendra Prasad, then President of India, formally opened the new location.The Gandhi Museums library is both a showcase for Gandhis work and a general studies library. The books are divided into two sections, those written by or about Gandhi and books on other subject matters. There are currently over 35,000 books or documents in the museums library. The library also has a collection of 2,000 periodicals in both English and Hindi chronicling the life of Gandhi.

Mahatma Gandhi is very famous in India as “Bapu” or “Rastrapita”. The full name of him is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He was a great freedom fighter who led India as a leader of the nationalism against British rule. He was born on 2nd of October in 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat, India. He died on 30th of January in 1948. M.K. Gandhi was assassinated by the Hindu activist, Nathuram Godse, who was hanged later as a punishment by the government of India. He has been given another name by the Rabindranath Tagore as “Martyr of the Nation” since 1948.
