    Best place to spend a day and learn new things. It includes medieval period, modern history, Harappan culture, Gupta umpire etc. Traditional architects, so type of coins (coin gallery), ancient arms (arms gallery), ancient musical instruments, ships, scripts (Rising of Devnagri), Traditional wears. All about mughals, Delhi sultanate etc etc etc. And the list still goes on. Do check it out this place. It is worth spending time here.

    Most of the museum is about the rich indian history. Very important place. Worth visiting. Itā€™s so special because of the holy bone relics of Buddha. We should appreciate the archeological survey of India for protecting the holy relics. But Itā€™s not fare to keep the holy bone relics of the Buddha in a museum. According to the last words of the Buddha in ā€˜Maha Parinibbana Suttaā€™, his holy bone relics should enshrine in a Stupa as the people can respect and gain positive potential (merits). But in this Museum they have place the holy relics in a showcase kind of mandap and show a notice saying that ā€˜No offeringsā€™. Itā€™s not good to play with the religions as it hurts deep in ones heart.

    Very nice museum. History of India of various period well documented. A good place to come with family to enjoy Indian history visually.

    If you like to think about India only as Gandhi country, don't go there. If you like to think about India only for the bargains and street chaos, don't go there. If you remember smels and flavours when you ear the word India, don't go there. But if you want to know more about indian art, indian coins, indian craftesman skills and, above all, if you want to be in presence of the Buddha relics, you cannot miss this museum!.

    The place is huge! One day is most definitely not enough to explore the whole place. All the artefacts and knowledge about ancient civilisations is something worth spending time on. For students itā€™s great way to experience ancient Indian civilisations. The artefacts are well preserved and presented. The museum also has audio guides, you can rent audio tour guide having headphones which gives brief details about the museum and artefact in front of the viewer.w

  • 5/5 d p. 5 years ago on Google ā€¢ 6 reviews
    This is one of my favorite place and has plethora of things to cherish, understand and feel Indian Art and Culture viz. coinage, paintings, sculpture and many more... The special editions they put is worth watch. This place I would recommend... Reach by 10am and u can roam till 5pm even if outside temperature is 40+Ā°C... In evening go to India Gate, War Memorial strolling... And yeah from there either CP or Rashtrapati bhawan. :)

šŸ«¤ This review is difficult to write.. because while the museum is indeed very well set up and would undoubtedly be an enjoyable experience for art and relic lovers, I did not find it interesting at all as I didnā€™t expect the National Museum to be just another art museum.
