The building of the Rs 271-crore museum is inspired by the story of a rising India. A number of gifts received by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru from all over the world have been put on display in the renovated Block I of the Nehru Museum building. According to an official, “The sangrahalaya is a seamless blend of the old and the new and includes the erstwhile Nehru Museum building, designated as Block I, which has been completely updated now.” Reportedly, the total area of the building is 10,491 square metres. The museum is located in the national capital’s Teen Murti complex. The museum’s inauguration date also collided with the birth anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution.
