This was a small but interesting museum that depicted how Gandhi lived and the history of his life. I learned a lot I didn't know about Gandhi and his accomplishments. More

We were offered to join the group. We also toured the upper floors of the museum. Including the room where he worked and stayed.... More

Well worth the hour... More
