National Museum, New Delhi

On August 15, 1949, the National Museum, New Delhi, was inaugurated in the Rashtrapati Bhawan by Shri R.C. Rajagopalachari, the Governor-General of India. The foundation of the present building was laid by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of India, on May 12, 1955. The first phase of the National Museumbuilding was formally inaugurated by Dr. SarvepalliRadhakrishnan, the Vice President of India, on December 18, 1960. The second phase of the building was completed in 1989.

The National Museum is the largest museum in India. The exhibition area here can also give you a good understanding of some of India’s cultural and religious characteristics. It is a very complex country with a large population and area, and the cultural differences are also very obvious.

The museum's collection is great. They have objects from all over the subcontinent dating back thousands of years. If you want to see Indian art and other things from the last four thousand years, this is the place to go. Some of the objects are truly iconic, like the Harephan dancing girl. Some of the collections, like the Mughal miniatures, are astonishing. But it could be better. Too many of the displays are obviously shabby and in dire need of renovation. Maybe the electricity just didn't work when we visited. The audio guide was very good and the cafe was adequate.

Also known as the National Museum of India, the National Museum in New Delhi is one the largest museums in India, situated on the corner of the Janpath and Maulana Azad Road. Established in 1949, the blueprints of the majestic repository were prepared by the Gwyer Committee set up by the Government of India in 1946.

I spent the whole day in this museum. There are three impressive points: 1. The description of the history of British colonization is very different from what I imagined. 2. The large number of Buddhas is breathtaking. 3. No cameras are allowed to take pictures, and you have to pay for the camera if you want to take pictures.

Spain has a glorious history and the museum is interesting
