Nehru Memorial Museum & Library

The newly constructed Prdhan Mantari Sangrahalya is a must visit specially for Youngsters. The renovated structure of PM sangrahalya is a new attraction in New Delhi. You must purchase your tickets through online because the Offline queue for tickets was too long when i arrived so it would be best purchase your tickets through the Official website of Sangrahalya.

Originally built as Flagstaff House in 1930 for the Commander-in-Chief of the British Indian Army. The building was upon independence renamed Teen Murti Bhawan & became the residence of India’s first Prime Minister, Shri Jawaharlal Nehru, who lives & worked from within this building for 16 years.
A reasonable amount of free parking is available & the complex contains extensive grounds, a planetarium, a Tughlaq era monument & a research library.
A composite ticket of ₹100/Indian citizen gives one access to both the Nehru Museum located within this colonial building & the recently opened Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya built right behind this building.
A very interesting museum if you’d want to know how the Constitution of India came about & also about the life of Nehru & what type of books he read, the simple rooms he lived in, his photos with other heads of states & the official gifts given to him which are on display plus his iconic clothes & cap.

The place is well maintained. Most of the narrative is understandable for a 6.5 year old barring few sections which need more understanding.
The adjoining new museum is a good stop too. Canteen is just chips and juice. Washrooms are clean. Staff is present everywhere to assist. You get audio tracks (included in tickets) that plays the narrative when you are in front of a compatible device. Good place to visit with kids. Really interesting to listen to the war narrative in the rooms dedicated to such time period in Indian history.

Nehru Memorial Museum and Library is known as Teen Murti Bhawan (sculptor: Leonard Jennings of Britain), after the three statues established in 1922 in honor of the three Indian princely states Jodhpur, Hyderabad and Mysore after their contribution in World War I by serving in the present day Gaza Strip, Israel, and Palestine. It was designed by Robert Tor Russell who also designed Connaught Place and a few parts of Janpath. Spread over 30 acres, its construction started in 1929 and took around one year to completion. It is a masterpiece of British and French architecture and woodwork. Initially knows as Flagstaff House, it was used by British forces as the residence of the Commander-in-Chief. After Independence, the house was taken over as the residence of Jawaharlal Nehru (1889–1964), first Prime Minister of India. After his death in 1964, it was decided that Teen Murti Bhawan should be converted into a museum and a library which would promote original research in modern Indian history with special reference to the Nehruvian era.

Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society was formed on 1 April 1966. Initially, the museum was set up in the eastern wing and the library in the western wing of the sprawling building, with Bal Ram Nanda as its founder-director, who also curated the museum and library for next 17 years. He received the Padma Vibhushan in 2003.

With the passage of time and the rapid growth of research material in the library, more space was required and an exclusive library building was constructed. It was formally inaugurated by President V. V. Giri in January 1974. However, the steady increase in the volume of material required for research further necessitated the construction of an annex building which was completed in 1989. The Centre for Contemporary Studies was set up in this building as a new unit in 1990.
