The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) on Thursday opened its doors to the public with a new look, that of the Prime Ministers’ Museum dedicated to all former Prime Ministers.
The residence of India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for 16 years that was converted into a memorial after his death in 1964, Teen Murti Bhawan, has been refurbished over the past three years. The new Prime Ministers’ Museum building in the complex that was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 14 welcomed visitors for the first time.
In what was earlier the reception of Teen Murti Bhawan, photos and displays related to Nehru made way for a model of the new building, exhibits on the Constitution and Constitution-makers and India’s democracy. Outside, the Ambassador car used by Vajpayee is showcased.
