• Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated ‘Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya’ (Prime Ministers’ Museum), which is a tribute to every PM in the country since Independence. 

• The museum tells the story of India after Independence through the lives and contributions of its PMs. 

• The museum is to honour the contribution of all the PMs of India towards nation building, irrespective of their ideology or tenure in office. 

• It is aimed at sensitising and inspiring the younger generation about the leadership, vision and achievements of all our PMs.

• Representing a seamless blend of the old and the new, the Sangrahalaya integrates the erstwhile Teen Murti Bhawan designated as Block I, with the newly constructed building designated as Block II.

• The total area of the two blocks is over 15,600 square metres.

• There are a total of 43 galleries in Sangrahalaya. Starting from displays on freedom struggle and the framing of the Constitution, the Sangrahalaya goes on to tell the story of how our PMs navigated the nation through various challenges and ensured the all-round progress of the country.

• The design of the museum building is inspired by the story of rising India, shaped and moulded by the hands of its leaders. The logo of the Sangrahalaya represents the hands of the people of India holding the Ashokha Chakra symbolising the nation and democracy.

• It has employed cutting-edge technology-based interfaces to encompass heterogeneity in content and frequent rotation of display. Holograms, virtual reality, augmented reality, multimedia, interactive kiosks, computerised kinetic sculptures, smartphone apps, interactive screens, experiential installations, etc enable the exhibition content to become highly interactive and engaging.
