What to do and see in National Capital Territory of Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
With stray monkeys, dogs and cows strolling the streets, you'll know you're in Dehli. Beyond these distractions, rich culture, fascinating history and architecture beckon. Temples and old moghul buildings cram crowded streets, best negotiated by motorized tut-tut or hired car and driver. Shopping bargains abound, particularly at Chandni Chowk, and restaurants favor vegetarians. Attractions include the towering Qutab Minar minaret, UNESCO World Heritage Site Lal Qila (Red Fort) and the vast Friday Mosque.

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.

I visited this museum with our group of 10 folks. The museum guide that took us around was very knowledgeable. If you're interested in traditional crafts in India this is the place to go. We also had lunch there (scheduled in advance) and it was delicious. This museum was developed to support improving access to traditional Indian crafts.. as well as support for local artists (it has residencies). A mission to be supported by all. It also was green and wonderfully quiet.. a respite from the hubbub of urban India!

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 .

This quiet museum houses an excellent collection of modern Indian art but is rarely crowded.
Reviewed By tariques2017 - New Delhi, India
National Gallery of Modern Art at the time of its inception (1954) was compared to the 'Venice Biennale" by one of the leading newspaper of the country. It has surely come a long way since then. With its colossal collection of Paintings, Sculpture and Photography by some of the finest and renowned artists of India, NGMA is definitely 'The Mecca' for art lovers. Situated at the central Hexagon near India Gate inside the premise of Jaipur House, this museum is a must visit, I would say. The museum has been set up expertly into four floors, each displaying illustrations by different artists of different period. As you walk on each floor, appreciating the oeuvre by different artists, you get educated as how the Indian paintings got evolved from miniature ones to larger than life size paintings. The museum exhibits myriad genre of Indian paintings ranging from Buddhists, Hindu mythology, Mughal, British era, modern day paintings and abstract painting as well. At the time of my visit to this museum, the bottom most gallery displayed the photography by Nimai Ghosh, who captured in his camera, some of the memorable moments from the life of Satyajit Ray (Oscar Award Winning Bollywood Director). The second floor had collection from pre to post independent era. The third and the fourth floor was gracefully exhibited by modern day and abstract paintings. Sculptures have been placed in a very beautiful manner on second and third floor. The entire museum has been set up beautifully in a much uncluttered style and the lights have been used with absolutely perfect tone and intensity. Adjacent to Main Museum building lies the Jaipur House which is used to showcase the work of different artists from time to time. Presently, the Hall is exhibiting the great work of Upendra Maharathi and the exhibition has been named as "Shashwat". Maharathi was a true Gandhinian and had immense faith Buddha. His 112 feet long work of art depicting the life of Gautama Buddha is also on display. Conclusively I could say that this place is not just for the connoisseur of art but for the amateurs too as it is very educative and very enlightening. Important Info: 1. The museum is opened From Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. 2. Free Parking is available in front of gate no 3 of Museum 3. The entry fee for Indian citizen is INR 20 and that for foreign nationals is INR 500. 4. A guided walk is organised every day at 1130 am, 01:30 pm and 3:30 pm. This guided walk is free of cost. The guide helps in understanding the museum and the art in a much better way. 5. Photography is allowed inside the museum, but one can use only mobile phone cameras and not the professional cameras. Be sure to switch off the flash of your mobile phones while clicking photos. No selfie is allowed inside the museum. 6. Locker facility is available free of cost inside museum. 7.
