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

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 ??

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!

Museum dedicated to Father of the nation Shree Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi depicts life and work of Mahatma Gandhi from his early days in south Africa till his death. Most appealing feature for me was telephone through which you can hear Bapus voice like he is talking to you. Don't forget to buy something from the souvenir shop. I bought hand made pencil and table top image of Bapu carved on a wooden piece.

The National Gandhi Museum is a serene and inspiring place that beautifully captures the life, philosophy, and contributions of Mahatma Gandhi. Located near Raj Ghat in New Delhi, the museum offers a deep insight into the personal and political journey of the Father of the Nation. The exhibits include rare photographs, personal belongings of Gandhi, letters, manuscripts, and books that reflect his ideas of truth, non-violence, and simplicity. One of the most moving sections is the display of the blood-stained dhoti Gandhi was wearing at the time of his assassination — a silent but powerful reminder of his sacrifice. The museum is well-organized, with sections dedicated to different phases of his life — from his early years, to his time in South Africa, and his leadership in India’s freedom movement. The audiovisual section, documentaries, and quotes displayed throughout the museum create a powerful emotional experience. The surroundings are peaceful, with well-maintained lawns that offer a moment of quiet reflection. Entry is free, and the staff is courteous and helpful. Overall, the National Gandhi Museum is not just a tourist spot; it’s a place of learning and introspection. It is a must-visit for anyone who wants to understand Gandhi’s legacy and India’s path to independence.
