Something never forgettable. Peaceful and lots of memories here. Madurai got its own charming. Every parent should get their child here to learn them more about past and how leaders were those days. Wonderful place to revisit historical events happened then. Parking and a small store available.

I went on Gandhi museum on Saturday and from 1 to 2:00 p.m. there will be a break and you cannot in enter inside the museum at that time but other than that you can enter the museum and visit. But I feel like there is nothing really unique there in museum except Gandhiji's watch and the somethings like that but other than that most of them are just stories on how India got the independence so but if you are new to Madurai and if you are rock exploring different places then definitely it is worth it and there is also Government museum that is outside the Gandhi museum it is 5 rupees for adult it is also good try if you are time you have time definitely go try it is a really good.

The Gandhi Memorial Museum is showing a very important and memorable part of the indian culture. Mahathma Gandhi leading one of the few peaceful revoloutions in human history to sucess and ending up in the today worlds biggest democracy is a history more than worth of preserving and showing us even good examples of how to behave till today. The museum does a good job at tflling this part of the story.
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.

An excellent display of history of colonisation of India by British, resistance to them & various attempts made for the independence of the country. The presentation is a 'must watch' for students and grownups alike. It was nice to know that the museum conducts examination for students after the visit, as per their schedule. A welcome activity.
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.

Good place to know the complete journey of Mahatma along with various important events in our Indian History. Presented with lots of written information and Photographs. Must visit for all to know our History. Plan for more time if you are interested in reading many details. Would highly recommend to visit.

Very well managed museum and a must visit place in Madurai.
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.

One of the Nine important place - in Mahathmagandhi's life - Madurai, A must see place at Madurai for all ages. Filled with photos, quotes, letters, many original items used by Gandhi are kept in the museum - Great! Truly his life is a Message.
