The National Gandhi Museum in New Delhi is a public museum dedicated to the life, ideas and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi. It houses a collection of photographs, personal items, documents and other materials related to Gandhi and the Indian independence movement.

Exhibition rooms present chronological displays of Gandhi’s life, his writings and photographs from the independence era, along with some personal effects and memorabilia. The museum also manages archival material used for research and public programs about nonviolent resistance and Gandhian thought.

The museum was established to collect, preserve and present material related to Gandhi and to promote study of his philosophy and methods. It has served as a center for exhibitions, educational outreach and archival research related to Gandhian studies.

Located in the national capital region of New Delhi, the museum is sited close to memorials and ceremonial sites connected with the independence era and is frequently visited in conjunction with nearby historical landmarks.

• Collections: Located in New Delhi near Raj Ghat, it preserves artifacts, photographs and documents related to Mahatma Gandhi’s life and work.

The museum is adjacent to Raj Ghat in central New Delhi. From the nearest metro stations (e.g., ITO or Delhi Gate), take a short taxi or auto-rickshaw. Many tour routes in central Delhi include Raj Ghat as a stop.

• Visit early to avoid the midday school groups and to see the relics and personal items with more quiet.
• Combine with a walk around Raj Ghat and the nearby Gandhi Smriti for layered perspectives on Gandhi's life and memorialization.
• There's limited photography in some exhibits-look for signs; taking notes by hand is useful for longer study.
