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.

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.

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.
