This museum was the residence of the former Prime Minister of India. Indira Gandhi moved into this house after her father Jawaharlal Nehru died in 1964.
She was the first woman Prime Minister of India and served in office for a period of 15 years. Her role was crucial in some landmark decisions for India.
The museum collection contains a large number of items on Mrs. Gandhi. From newspaper cuttings to her personal belongings, photo’s, letters to her children and her diary.
A dramatic display includes Indira Gandhi’s bag, sandals and the blood stained saree she was wearing when she was assassinated by two of her bodyguards.
This happened in the garden of the proporty. In memory of that tragic event, the final few meters of her walk towards Akbar Road on 31st October, 1984, have been covered with crystal glass symbolizing a river in flow.
