Prime Minister Museum: The significance of the Prime Minister Museum New Delhi

On April 14, 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, also known as the Prime Ministers’ Museum. Nestled on Teen Murti Marg in New Delhi, this museum stands as a tribute to every Indian Prime Minister since independence. Its location, adjacent to the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML), carries historical significance, as it was once the residence of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Beyond static exhibits of mementos, the museum offers immersive experiences. Visitors can embark on a simulated helicopter ride for a bird’s-eye view of India’s landmarks, or delve into an audio-visual tour featuring historic speeches delivered from the iconic Red Fort.
