The 8 Best History Museums in New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi
New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

Apparently the museum was an initiative by President Pranab Mukarjee. Open to the public. The museum has a wonderful collection of gifts received by the various Presidents during their foreign visits or when visiting dignitaries visit the President. Excellent presentation, wonderful lighting and amazing collection of artifacts. Entry is free. Guide available. The museum is a hidden treasure as it's not aggressively advetised. While at Delhi, this museum is strongly recommend.

The museum is actually the residence of the Ex prime minister Indira Gandhi and offers a sneak preview not only into the life and times of one of the most powerful PM's of India . Its also a rare opportunity to actually see the residence of the PM . One would tend to think that being the PM Indira Gandhi would have a grand lifestyle . The actual truth may come as a shock to you as to how simply she lived . Its an inspiration to all of us who go overboard trying to show off . The museum also houses Rajiv Gandhi related exhibits . You can see the blood splattered sari of Mrs Gandhi in which she was murdered as well as the splatters dress of Rajiv Gandhi when he was blown up . The entry is free and there is ample free parking . There is also a small souvenir shop and they have a range of very competitively priced memorabilia.There is much more to be seen and if you are in Delhi this is must visit .

Through the maze of turns and alley ways in Chandni Chow lays this very well hidden old havali that is turned into an esoteric haven for admirer's who appreciate the works of Mirza Ghalib.
7. Charkha Museum

Reviewed By curatorofmemories - Hyderabad, India
The museum is dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and his Charkha. Gandhi was a vocal advocate of Charkha and the museum has an interesting display of various types of Charkhas. It is not a very large museum and you can see all the exhibits in under 30 minutes. A small school on the premises also conducts classes on spinning.
