One of the famous place to visit in Madurai. It is a memorial museum for Father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi. It is one of the five Gandhi Sanghralayas in the country. Most attractive for me is that it includes a part of the blood-stained garment worn by Gandhi ji when he was assassinated by Nathuram Godse. Very peaceful place to spend some & it is showcases Gandhi Ji’s life through photographs, letters and other artifacts.

Had a great time exploring the Gandhi's life story and it also have a Government's Tamil Museum (Costly for Foreigners but worth spending) inside. Pros: 1.Many things about Gandhi is available, needs a whole day to explore. 2.Mobiles and Cameras are allowed but costs Rs.50. 3.Silent surrounding and good ventilation available. 4.Has things weared by Gandhi especially the blood stained cloth of Gandhi which he was wearing at his death. 5.It has a stationary store containing Gandhi's books and other good stuffs. 6.Good maintenance. Cons: 1.Tickets and stuffs are costly. 2.Felt quite boring and sleepy.

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.

Such a clam place to visit. If you are really fascinated by history, then it's a good calm place to visit in. Museum is really good and but I want it to be properly organized 🙂 and kept. Rest everything is good 😊

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.

The museum is under renovation currently and is temporarily closed for public viewing. I checked with some Government officials there and they told me it might reopen in 4-6 months.

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.

Those who admire mahatma must go there His chappals, spex, cloths are there. U must go with young ones to teach the heritage of our freedom fight The only one man could say my life is my message that is MK gandi.. I will add the photos of the museum. Near by TN govt museum is also there Entry to Gandhi museam is free. Please buy some books from the book shop as well

This museum is well maintained. You can easily enter the museum. It's open all the days just remember the timings 9am-5:30pm. On the walls you can see how the Englishman came to India conquered it and how we got freedom again, the full story is depicted. And there is one hall for Gandhiji. All his belongings like the dhoti he wore in his last day, his writings etc are preserved. Nice place to visit.

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.

Inside the museum gandhiji biography and their andolan against the British Empire and all the journey of indian independence and indian freedom fighters also in this museum tamilnadu tourism place and tamilnadu contribution to the freedom of India it's visit free of cost but photography and video charge 50rs

One can get visual biography of Mahatma Gandhi . It's near to Madurai District collector office.

Good about Museum : 1. Intention to have a museum like this which demonstrates freedom fight. 2. Portrayal of history from 1800 to 1947 in English & Tamil with pictures. 3. Books to buy on Gandhian thoughts. Improvement opportunities: 1. Museum was built years back. Still maintaining the same infra & interiors which looks average. 2. Video visuals, 3 D shows can be played to enhance the historical knowledge for the visitors especially kids. 3. 30 - 45 minutes is the maximum time we can spend there now. Need some thinking from authorities to make the visit more interesting and knowledgeable for the visitors.

In the heart of Madurai city. Easily accessible with local transport. Huge collection of of India's history. Nicely scripted in paintings. Neat and clean place

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.

Entry is free. For photography video you need to buy 50 Rs ticket. Neatly maintained. Please be silent inside the museum

A very humble museum befitting of the man that it honors. I had the pleasure to learn the deep history of India's colonization and how it continually worked for its freedom. Also, how Ghandiji took the forefront of that movement through nonviolent measures. It was very inspiring! While it will take an hour or two to go through the exhibit, it is not air conditioned so come prepared! Only 10 rupees to visit, such a deal! 50 more rupees if you want to take photos inside. Enjoy!

Nice place,you can get knowledge from there.

This is the museum for father of our nation the late mahatma Shri. Mohandas karamchand Gandhi. This is situated in the MADURAI city near by the district collectorate.This is also one of the most important visiting spots in this tourism city and people those are visiting the meenakshi amman temple and Thirumalai nayakkar Palace also visiting this museum. Not only this museum for the tourist but also to the local people and especially for all the students studying in the various institutions here and there. The main entrance gateway building is at now under reconstruction for more facilities to the common public and those are coming to here. In this building that's Ganthiji's so many portraits photos on those days ,his used things, original letters with his signatures are kept here for our notice purpose. We could understood that after seeing this place thats our father of nation and about his genuine face and his small livelihoods. This museum has also an annexed building and there you can see the exhibition of British people used weapons, and other things on those days. More over the oldest musical instruments like veena,morsang and the metal vessels are in vengalam are kept here. The bigger sand pots (muthumakkal thazhi)that's where the dead bodies are kept buried also kept for our seeing purpose here. The small birds and animals in which are dead are artificially made-up and kept inside the glass doors. We can see the weapons are used by the Kings of monarchy at that time. But before going to enter into this exhibition that's we have to buy a ticket for Rs. 5 per person. Students are getting concessions and for Rs.3 only for them.but foreigners has to pay for Rs.100 per person. And differently abled persons are exempted and the entry is free for them without any entry fee. This museum has also a big library in a separate building including the daily 📚 reading section containing the daily,weekly, monthly, bimonthly news papers and journals. Gandhians books all are kept for the public purpose. This museum has all the basic amenities including separate toilets for men and womens. Drinking water facilities are also found be in good condition. Bus transportation for the local area is available inside itself. The disability people could easily approached this place with their wheelchairs etc.This museum has lot of working persons including the security guards.,under the supervision of the museum correspondence, Secretary, Treasurer etc.This museum found be in facious and good hygienic with neat conditions. Recently I did visited this place and I like it very much its usefulness for the common public to know about ours father of the nation and his earlier freedom activities and also the Gandhians propagandists. People once should be visited to this museum and I strongly recommend this place 👌

This place has few historical information abt Gandhi ji and also few of his collections But when I visited the main area was under renovation There is one government museum next to it that was also closed Try to use rapido or ola to reach this place

It's a great place to visit and know more about the patriotism that happened during the struggle for Independence. More photos and the history about Gandhi's life and his way during the independence. One more place outside having a museum with weapons, places of madurai, weapons and few archeological findings as well along with few animal skeletons. One book store is also available where you can find tamil history books. It's a good place to visit and it's a history places in Madurai.

The Gandhi Museum in Madurai is a place of historical significance and cultural importance that pays tribute to one of the most iconic figures in India's history, Mahatma Gandhi. Spread over a sprawling complex, the museum offers visitors a deep insight into the life, philosophy, and contributions of the Father of the Nation. The museum is strategically located in the heart of Madurai, making it easily accessible to both tourists and locals. As you approach the museum, you are greeted by a bronze statue of Mahatma Gandhi, a symbol of his enduring influence and principles. This sets the tone for the enriching experience that awaits within.

Gandhi Memorial with an depiction of entire freedom movement through frames... Gives you an idea about what our freedom fighters have gone through to enable us to see this day today... Last worn clothes of Mahatma Gandhiji also preserved in this memorial... No Entry Fees... Jai Hind 🇮🇳

The museum has an original letter written personally by Gandhiji to Narayanan Sathsangi of Devakottai. A congratulatory message sent by Gandhiji to freedom fighter and poet Subramania Bharati is also preserved in this museum. Another interesting letter is the one written by the Mahatma gandhi to Adolf Hitler addressing him as "Dear Friend". Located in a quiet place, this memorial of Gandhi contains a "Visual Biography of Bapuji" containing photos, paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, quotations and selected copies of his letters and renderings. This section contains 124 rare photographs depicting various phases of Gandhi from his childhood days until being taken to the crematorium . The pictures displayed here are carefully selected making viewers remember the importance of a national leader, who lived his life as an example to all.

Loved this place honestly. Must visit place once you visit Madurai. Spare minimum 2 hours for detailed tour. No ENTRANCE FEES. Check timings and visit. You would be amazed to find huge number of foreigners than Indians at this museum looking into Indian history with curiosity. Museum includes all pictorial representation of history right from 6th century A.D. and some collections of antique work.

No entry fees to visit. Don't pay for video or photo camera. If you want to learn about our freedom must visit here. Here there are lot of freedom fighters history available.

Historical place for remembering our god father of country , Mahatma Gandhi Ji . Located at the heart of Sanga tamil Madurai the city. Well maintained and neat and clean . Even Drinking water facilities not available . Parking is not available Children park is also not available

This place makes me get goosebumps. If you want to know about our nation historical events, Gandhi biography and old (golden) stuff, this is the place for you. Very clean and calm place.

Amazing place in Madurai. Massive. Clean. Palace is well maintained. If you need a place with calm environment go for it.

Details of Mahatma Gandhi's life journey in pectoral form beautifully scripted. Pleased to know more about Mahatmas life.

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.

It's a well maintained museum of the father of our nation and also privileges his heritage. Camera are allowed inside if a charge is paid extra for it.

Actually we don't know the place will be closed on Sunday but had a look at the small library and we returned back.

Interesting political history, offered in English. Free to enter. Lovely bookshop with a few gifts at great prices in the same compound. If only the museum had AC. We were dripping with sweat the whole visit. Closes for an hour in the afternoon - check the timings before you show up.

Enter fee is nil. Ame space for parking. Easy to access. Wonderful exhibits on the freedom struggle as well as the life of Gandhiji. The museum has the blood stained clothes that the Mahathma was wearing when he was gunned down - will surely move one to tears. Highly recommend to take little children along so that they can learn about the lives and contributions made by freedom fighters for the sake of the nation.

This museum is inaugurated by Shri Jawaharlal Nehru. The place is big enough and the environment is clean and tidy. There is a statue of mahatma Gandhi at the entrance. If you want to click photo inside the museum you have to pay ₹50. Historical importance is given inside of mahatma Gandhi's law degree to jail certificate.

The oldest memorial of the father of nation Mahatma Gandhi. It's well maintained and clean. It has many used things of Gandhi.

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.

Gandhi's original spectacle, leather sandal and a shawl used by gandhi is there, and detailed description of the freedom fight with pictures, but the overall maintenance of the museum is poor There's no entry free,that's why they aren't maintaining it ig

Must visit place in madurai full history of freedom and gandhiji memories displayed there

A visual biography of Bapuji containing photos, sculptures, manuscripts etc. However I will suggest to cover this in the last point of ur trip if u have a 1 or 2 day local visit plan.

Small museum, but has some interesting artifacts. One can spend around 1 hour for the visit.

Excellent exhibition describing the history of European occupation of India, and the subsequent struggle for independence. Good information about the Mahatma, but great to have so much wider context to what his movement was all about as well. The Ghandi The Lawyer exhibition was also really good.

To know the history of Madurai & cultural tradition followed this museum showcases it apart from Gandhi's . Part of the museum is under renovation. Everything else is shown in the hut nearby showcasing antiques.

Nice place, illustrating all the events of the British rule and the freedom struggle of India. Journey of Mahatma towards independence is well portrayed.

Loved this place. It has all the things which is required by a person to learn about Gandhi. It starts from history of India from the emperor to British and to independence and roles of all the people involved. It describes Mahatma Gandhi s involvement and the roles and with all movements he conducted. At last u will also see the cloths and things used by him during his life. It's a must visit place I must say.

This place is all related to Gandhi who is the historic person in India who taught many things to people as how life is and how Indians should be and he fought for the freedom from British government and he didn't wear dress untill all Indian where dress. He avoid bribery and each note contains his face to avoid the bribery and unnecessary things. His day is celebrated each year October and respected him by all Indian till now.

Gandhi Memorial Museum, Madurai…it was a very hot day during my visit (1st June) but when I entered into the two storied white building, I felt peach in my heart. It is one of the five Ghandhi Smarak Shangrahalaya in India. On your way to the museum, you will first notice a nameplate that states that it was inaugurated by the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 15th April,1959. It is a well decorated museum with lot of collections. I was thrilled when I saw the clothes which He wore last day of His life. Infront of the museum there is a book shop where you can collect book as a souvenir by Ghandhian Literature Society of Madurai.

A Must visit in Madurai for people interested in Gandhi and local history of Architecture. The museum building is a masterpiece of the bygone era when it was constructed.

One of the good tourist attraction in Madurai and a place with historic significance, free to enter, 50 for camera/mobile photography. Place is well maintained (went a day after Independence day, so not sure if it's maintained well like this always.) Many real articles like Gandhiji's spectacles, his cloths , his hand written letter, etc are on display. A very good place to know about freedom struggle and freedom fighters of the Sub-continent. If you are traveling to Madurai please do have this as one of the must see attraction in the city. A clean and calm place in Madurai.

Free Entry place, One of the best & must visit places of Madurai, quite nicely maintained & also resides Gandhian study ?. Every details of Gandhi’s life & India’s freedom of struggle has been detailed out in charts & documents pasted as per chronological order. A small library is also there, where books ? are available at affordable rates.

Wow...its a treasure...happened to visit only recently..some of the important things of Mahathma is protected here..beautiful depiction of Indian History..Need more funds from Govt to attract more tourists..

The Tamukkam means summer house. It was built in 1670, and was the summer palace of Rani Mangammal, the queen regent of the Madurai Nayak kingdom. Taken over by the British, Tamukkam became the official residence of the District Collectors. It now houses the Mahatma Gandhi Museum.

Nice place

When in madurai, don't miss the Gandhi memorial museum

Its peaceful place. I would like to Gandhiji. He is one of the national freedom fighter in India. But not facilities for people. Maintenance is little. Only we are see that place few hours more.

Years after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, in 1948 an appeal was made to the citizens of India nationwide to build memorials for him. With the help of contributions from poor and rich citizens of India, a trust was established for this cause, the Mahatma Gandhi National Memorial Trust. This museum was inaugurated by the former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 15 April 1959. Gandhi Memorial Museum in Madurai comes under the Peace Museums Worldwide selected by United Nations Organisation (UNO). The palace of Rani Mangammal was renovated and converted into the museum.

Pleased to visit this place second time after a gap of fifty years, the previous one was when I was about ten years old to these sacred place builted in memory or of our father of the nation.The younger generations must inculcated the sacrifices done by these great soul and all other associated people and movements.

Not much artifacts. Good to visits if just want to see some freedom fighter old photos. Can be covered in 10-15 mins.

Peaceful place in madurai.

Nice Museum. A must visit for a person interested in Indian History and our freedom struggle. Only the museum is maintained, Wash room / Toilet facilities ZERO, no SWACHHATA at Gandhi Museum. I think all the money is going on in corruption.
