Photo Essay: Gandhi Smriti



By  testing     11:25    Labels:, 

From a hand painted xylophone to portraits of Mahatma Gandhi carved into 12feet high wooden walls.

Gandhi Smriti has a huge collection of interactive and static installations. While it explains things in a playful way using electric instruments and unimaginable number of projectors screening scenes from his life on different walls it does not fail to give details on life events and habits.

The exhibition space was considerably large with little clues for navigation (pardon me if I missed something from the exhibition).

Due to lack of time the staff tour guide helped us look at the whole museum space in the best way we could.

Printed panels illustrating some notable life events through text and photographic images.
