Imagine New Delhi becoming home to the world’s largest museum display area?
Think scale. Think culture.
That is the vision behind the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum!
Today’s Cabinet decision will give impetus to transform historic North and South Block buildings into a magnificent celebration of Bharat’s civilisational journey.
From ancient knowledge systems, mathematics and astronomy to architecture, art, languages and spirituality, the museum will bring thousands of years of our heritage to life through immersive experiences and world-class galleries.
Buildings that have been centres of governance will now become a place where millions can discover, experience and celebrate the timeless richness of our civilisation.
A historic new chapter for India’s cultural heritage!
