For some parts i miss the modern and educated and neutral perspective in this museum, since there are some parts of history here wich are also worth of being disussed. More specificly the life and rights of a general indian citizen before the arrival of the british empire in india and the political benefits wich Ghandijis family gained from his reputation.
The photos, some original exhibits are all displayed with brief but important information. The names of some south Indian freedom fighters have been mentioned with due respect & importance. Such an emphasis is often missing in many museums.
This place is under the administration of a private authority. I wish they can continue with good work for a long time to come.
The government museum few feet away has also many artifacts on display. The model of nuclear reactor is impressive. The recorded information is displayed in a light and sound show. Excellent.
Some artifacts need better display of information. The font type and size, number of words etc should be reviewed by the curator to make this place far more attractive and informative.
I walked in with little expectations but when I walked out I was really impressed. When in Madurai, one should dedicate 2- 3Hours for this place.
The book store in premises is good.
An amphitheater in a corner looks neglected but can be put to good use.
This is probably the best museum we have visited both in India and abroad. There are many photographs and the explanations that are well laid out.
Also, contains many original artifact's of Mahatma Gandhi.
Don't forget to visit the small bookstore and the government museum in the same premises.
Entry to Gandhi museum is free but there is a small charge for the Government museum.
