The museum has lots of audio-visual aids to depict the life of Nehru. There were several photographs of Nehru and his family, along with the Bharat Ratna medal awarded to him in 1955.
There is also a Gifts Gallery in the museum, where one can see various gifts given to Nehruji during his reign as Prime Minister.
Jawahar Jyoti, another feature at the place, is an eternal flame that keeps burning day and night in memory of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The front lawn of the museum has a huge granite rock inscribed with extracts of the historic speech delivered by Nehruji in the midnight session of the Indian Constituent Assembly. The Nehru library has lots of books on various topics such as religion, culture, sociology, economics, politics and development in India. There is a planetarium where one can see the space programme of India and the universe.

Revisiting the past
In order to achieve success in life, we need real and practical knowledge. Books give us only theoretical knowledge. Real knowledge lies not in books, but in fields, factories, workshops and nature. A few days ago, we visited the Nehru Museum.
It is also known as the Teen Murti Bhawan. It is the best place to learn about the history of the Independence movement of India. The museum offers photographs of our first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and the various phases of his life. He lived here for 16 years.
The splendid collection of books in the library is made up of material on religion, culture, sociology and economics. There is a planetarium dedicated to him. The Gifts Gallery exhibits some of the gifts received by Nehruji during his travels in India and overseas, including the Bharat Ratna Medal that was awarded in 1955. Jawahar Jyoti, the eternal flame that is kept burning day and night, indicates the ideals of Nehru. Our visit was a great source of information and knowledge. The museum has left a great impression on my mind.
