Nice place for spending time and travel.
Good place to know about history of Indira Gandhi, and a nice way to spend time knowing the history of India and memories
Gem of a museum. Nothing short of a shrine.
This is one place every Indian must visit.
The Father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhiji's mortal remains, pictures, clothes, watches, utensils, walking stick, microscope, hat etc. are all available here for the visitor.
I feel blessed to have been able to feel Gandhiji's life through worldly things that be has left behind.
What a man, what an inspiration, what a legend.
I bow to him 🙏🏻

Even though this historic museum is located next to Rajghat, one of the most visited sites in Delhi, few visit this museum. Dedicated to Father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi the museum has a rich collection of photographs and artifacts from life and times of Gandhi. The walking stick from Dandi march , daily use items of Gandhi ji as well as his blood soaked dhoti and a bullet from the fatal asssissination are on display. The Charkha gallery has on display several types of Charkhas. Photography is allowed and there is ample parking space on the campus. Among the outdoor exhibits are sculpture of Dandi March and a replica of Hriday Kunj from Sabarmati Asharm. There is a small but well stocked book store on campus as well
A must visit museum for history enthusiasts as you can get live exposure of what Indira Gandhi had gone through her life until her death. The room and things she used is exhibited. The spot where she was shot is marked and we can relive in it our minds.
Silent , Calm and quiet area. Really worth visiting once l.
A good place to visit. But it’s crowded during weekends
Be prepared to read a lot. Good thing it’s free because you might have to go back a few times to finish the whole museum or just read his biography in the comfort of your home 🤷🏽♀️
Un peu déçue par le manque de vie du musée qui est une suite de photographies sur la vie de Gandhi. Il n’y avait personne, les gardiens sont à moitié endormis sur leur chaise, bref, un musée tristounet.
Awesome place to grasp the Historic witnesses.
The exhibitions are great but it's very time consuming as a lot of reading needs to be done.
Do visit here .Must watch this place very clean and well maintained really too good school college trips are highly recommended .
A wonderful place which gives you an insight on the Mahatma's life which is just a stone throw away from the place where he has been put to rest.
The vehicle on which his mortal remains and the sofa where Mahatma once sat during a gathering have been kept for the public to view.

Originally known as the Palace Museum, this museum dates back to 1911 when it was located in the Naubhat Khana. It was later moved to the Mumtaz Mahal, originally used as a mess by the British occupiers. The museum is now under the aegis of the Archaeological Survey of India.
Most of the Mughal belongings and jewels of the Red Fort were looted and stolen during Nadir Shah's invasion of India in 1747 and again after the failed Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the British colonialists. They were eventually sold to private collectors or the British Museum, British Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum. For example, the Koh-i-Noor diamond, the jade wine cup of Shah Jahan and the crown of Bahadur Shah II are all currently located in London. Various requests for restitution have been rejected by the British government.The museum, therefore, is only able to show a very small fraction of Mughal property and heritage.

Yes the wait is must but great. This is definitely worth it being there doing that and seeing it. The structural heritage and archaeology Marvel is pleasantly applicable to eye sight and visuals. Need a lot of time and patience to just view around
It was a great experience visiting the Archaeological Museum in Delhi is a must see for people of all ages, especially kids. Traces its history from 1911 when it was situated in Naubat Khana, Archaeological Museum, however, later shifted to Mumtaz Mahal in Red Fort. Initially, the museum was set up with an aim to showcase the Mughal culture through their exquisite pieces of art, however, with time it also exhibited other annals of Indian history
A short visit of 30-60 minutes will be enough to cover this small museum for free...you will see various toilets from different countries and history of toilets... mostly it's empty...I went there alone but it would be a little more fun if you go there with someone else to laugh at some things....I won't upload more photos...go and visit once if u live nearby....
Excellent experience; everyone should go here at least once in their lives.
There are 4 museums in total, and the ticket price includes them all.
The cost of a ticket is 50-/- per person without a museum admission.
There is a ton lot learn about our past.

I visited the National Gandhi Museum last weekend and it left an indelible mark on my heart! As someone who's always been fascinated by the life and philosophy of the Father of the Nation, this place was a treasure trove of emotions and insights. The museum is filled with photographs, personal belongings, and even the bullets that took his life - it's a sobering reminder of the sacrifices he made for our freedom.
I was particularly moved by the spinning wheels on display, a symbol of his emphasis on self-sufficiency and simplicity. What struck me most, however, was the replica of his humble abode in Sabarmati Ashram - it's a testament to the principles of minimalism and compassion that he lived by. The quotes and excerpts from his writings scattered throughout the museum only added to the sense of reverence and awe. If you're a fellow freedom fighter at heart or just curious about India's history, this place is a must-visit. Be prepared to leave with a heavier heart and a renewed sense of purpose!

An indispensable collection of artifacts and daily use objects from the life of the great Mahatma Gandhi. The museum contains a plethora of real life objects and miniatures to describe how his life was. There are wall boards with the story of India's struggle for independence. There's also a library with all kinds of books about our history.
Entry is free and the museum closes at 5pm. Do visit with some extra time in hand to carefully explore and articulate how much impact Gandhi and his ideology had on our history.

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.

Very mesmerizing pleace.The former residence of Indira Gandhi has been converted into the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum and is filled with personal belongings and furnishings used by the late Prime Minister.
The last 144 days he lived in this particular room and nice to see all the memories of Mahatma Gandhi
I visited this place on my random visit to new delhi, seriously one of the best place that i have visited that day. I visited here after visiting to India Gate,Rashtrapati Bhavan,War memorial,Gandhiji Memorial,Lal Bahadur Mem and Finally here. It was one beautiful and memorable day in my life. The day was so hot but yet memorable. Here i saw indira gandhi jis study room and i was literally stunned.....she had studied literally 10000 books....i was totally stunned to see those....u can see the last dress which she was wearing before dieing. Then to be specific you can see the "BHARAT RATNA" award of Indira gandhi and Rajiv gandhi....i was shocked while seeing it too close😍....i still can feel literally everything infront of my eyes.❤if u do visit to new delhi u must surely give a visit to this place....also there is a Beautiful Garden surrounded by it....u can also see the Final moments of indira gandhi and the spot where she died.
There are about 5-6 museums in the Red Fort area. The tickets are available along with the tickets for the Red Fort. A must visit for all history lovers and youth. It portrays history of India from 1857 along with Museums dedicated to great leaders like Subash Chandra Bose etc. Do carry your own food or water, there is no canteen inside.
History lovers and for those who wanna know about Gandhi Ji's life this place is perfect.
The garden, structures, gallery, museum, library and lot more everything is perfect.
Must visit at least once in a lifetime.😊

The Red Fort Archaeological Museum is currently located in the Mumtaz Mahal of the Red Fort in Delhi, northern India. The museum contains paintings, artifacts, calligraphy, fabrics and other objects dating from the Mughal era.

The National Gandhi Museum showcases the life of Mahatma Gandhi.Well i would say it's worth visiting.
It has a large collection of original books, journals, photographs, materials & papers connected to Gandhi.Very well presented and hugely informative.On the first floor there's a hall to watch a movie about his life.The garden around includes some nice landscapes.The calm greenery of the gardens helps to alleviate the solemnity of the story.
Overall it's Great✋

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.

Must visit in New Delhi. We haven't seen much people but this place has a lot of detail about Mahathma Gandhi. It is near to the raj-ghat. It is a very clam and peaceful place. Take few hours and go through all the photographs, it will provide better view about his life. This place is well maintained. There is no any entrance fee.
Excellent place to visit with family. Very nicely maintained and one can spend the entire day here since it is close to the India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhawan and is in the heart of the city.
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.

Red Fort or the Lal Qila houses the museum of Arms & Weapons. This enormous museum has a fine collection of Mughal weapons, medals, paintings, and dresses used in different wars such as the First World War. It has galleries showing us the weapons used during the war and also projects some of the war scenes, such as of the battle of Panipat. The Arms and Weapons Showcased in the Galleries include: arrows, swords, khukris, revolvers, machine guns, shells, daggers, small weapons, battle axes, chest armours etc. The last two galleries show the impact of European industrialization over the weapons, and communication since radars, telephone, telegraph, signal lamps, guns with periscope, trench periscope etc were introduced. While the Red Fort is all red stoned, the museum of arms and weapons is all white, containing all these ‘black’ weapons. One can visit the museum between 10am and 5pm. The museum remains closed on Fridays.
The museum is located on the first and second floor of the drum house. It contains several galleries pertaining to the military history of India during the first and second world war.
Items that are on display is a diorama of the Battle of Panipat (1526), in which Babur defeated the forces of Ibrahim Lodi and established the Mughal Empire.
Further objects on display are traditional weapons such as daggers and gupti, as well as arms and helmets. The advent of the industrialisation brought in new weapons such as machine guns and grenades.
Various badges, ribbons, and uniforms of Turkish and New Zealand army officers, and flags are also on display.
The dress of Maharaja Pratap Singh of Idar, a renowned soldier and military man, is displayed, which includes the kurta (long shirt), belt, trouser, turban with zari work, shoes and inscribed sword with sheath.

The Museum is inheritance historic building in Red Fort in Delhi dedicated to the freedom fighters of our history keeing the all historical valuable things concerning with Freedom Fighters and the leaders of our historical revolution for freedom of our country.
Not well maintained, very few people visit although they are allowed to go without any extra charge. When I visited, in the whole museum area only 2-3 visitors were there.
At the end you can say it, a good place to visit for those who have genuine interest in history
