The main sections of the museum are as follows — the photo section, the library and publication section, galleries and other displays.

In the museum we found ourselves surrounded by the world of Gandhiji, with abundant information about his life. The visit was excellent and very informative. We got to know things we never knew about.

His life inspires us even today
My visit with my school friends to the National Gandhi Museum gave me precious information about a great leader—Gandhi ji; our Bapu. It was a memorable visit. Bapu was a man of simple style. He wore the simple khaadi dhoti, yet he moved people with his love and non-violence. The spinning wheel is a symbol of his simplicity; it touched the entire humanity during India’s freedom struggle. His patriotism continues to inspire people from all walks of life. The truth about Gandhiji, in one word, was honesty. Even after years of losing Gandhiji, his thoughts and morals stand strong for the youth as ‘Gandhigiri’.

The man behind freedom struggle
‘Forgiveness is the quality of the brave, not of the cowardly.’ These lines were said by the Father of our nation: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi.

My visit to the National Gandhi Museum near Rajghat has really motivated me. We all keep hearing that Gandhiji was a great man; he was poor but had the wealth of love. I wasn’t so moved by these sayings till I visited the museum and almost experienced the very life of Gandhiji. I came to know why he became such a great person. At the museum, we saw the replica of Gandhiji’s Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat, which seemed very real, indeed. But the most remarkable relic was the khaadi dhoti worn by Gandhiji till his death. The blood-stained dhoti and the bullet which killed him have been kept as artifacts in the museum. Besides these, there were his spectacles, the pocket watch used by him and his folding stick. There were also old newspaper articles, featuring thousands of people mourning his death and thronging his Samadhi. There were also some telephone models playing the recorded voice of Gandhiji; it seemed as if talking to him on phone. There were also many foreign tourists at the museum, who still admire and respect the Mahatma and his works. The last thing we saw was a documentary titled Gandhi a tribute, which showed different stages of his life, his struggle for India’s freedom and eventually becoming the Father of the nation. Lastly, it showed the incident of his death which really brought tears to my eyes. I think every Indian should visit this museum and know how India has become a free nation.
