A Vision for Cultural Preservation

The museum represents more than just a collection of artifacts—it's a living narrative of India's enduring spirit and contributions to human civilization.
The strategic location at North Block, part of the Central Vista redevelopment project, ensures the museum will be accessible to both domestic and international visitors, serving as a premier cultural destination in the heart of the nation's capital.
