Prime Ministers Museum & Library

The institution houses collections about Indian heads of government in a modern complex near the city center. The premises include exhibition galleries and a separate reading room with digitized archives.

The site originated in 1964 after the death of the first head of government, whose residence was converted into a public memorial. Later expansions brought new buildings and additional galleries for other officeholders.

The name refers to all heads of government since the country gained independence in 1947. Exhibition rooms display personal belongings and writings from former officeholders, including letters and diaries.

Visitors reach the site by public transport or taxi via broad avenues in the diplomatic quarter. The galleries are accessible on ground level, and seating areas are available in the courtyard.

The grounds house a planetarium that offers presentations on astronomy and the role of navigation in maritime history. This combination of political documentation and space education attracts school groups and families alike.
