Although the first part of this museum involves a lot reading which is tough in the Delhi summer heat it is packed with good solid useful information.

This review is very late. We travelled to Gandhi Smriti in November 2009. This is a very special place and for someone from the UK a place of great significance and an opportunity to learn.

Housed in old Birla House on 5, Tees January Marg. This is the place where Gandhi was assassinated on 30th January 1948 by Nathuram Godse. The museum in the building houses a number of articles associated with Gandhi's life and death.

This is a very well done exhibition, showing both the actual location where Gandhi lived & walked to his death as well as a wonderfully done interactive museum upstairs. Our kids enjoyed it & learned, only thing is there are several things only in Hindi.

This is a place of mixture of pride and sorrow for everybody. Pride about this Man's life, sorrow about his demise... A very good symbol of warm memory!

We visited Gandhi Smruthi on 19th April. The experience was very touching. We can see the belongings of our Gandhiji . By seeing all those stuffs, i felt very sad . Also the place he become a martyr. His last steps are recreted here. It would touch all Indians. We paid our homage to Bapuji and left.
