| Nehru Memorial Museum is located in one of the
most imposing and stately buildings of Lutyen's New Delhi, Teen
Murti Bhavan on Teen Murti Road. Originally the official home
of the British commander-in-chief of the Indian army, this graceful
colonial building became the residence of India's first Prime
Minister and national leader, Jawaharlal Nehru, who lived here
for sixteen years. |
| Depicting various facets of life of the great
statesman, the memorial has a fine collection of rare photographs
from his family album, his personal letters and newspaper clippings
providing detailed information on National Movement of India.
The visitors can view Nehru's bedroom, study room and drawing
room as he left them through large glasses. These spacious teak-paneled
rooms with high ceilings are laid with some very personal belongings
of the able leader. There are also on display his stylish clothes
of summer and winter reflecting his elegant taste apart from
gifts, treasured curios, presents and precious awards he received
during his lifetime from various countries and organizations.
