Parliament Museum, Educational museum in Parliament Library Building, New Delhi, India.
The Parliament Museum is located in Sansadiya Gyanpeeth in the Parliament Library Building in New Delhi and presents exhibits, multimedia displays, and artifacts showing India's democratic development. The collection documents how legislative processes have evolved and highlights key moments in the country's parliamentary history.
The museum was established to document India's parliamentary history and was moved to its current location in 2002 under the patronage of President K. R. Narayanan. This relocation marked the official integration of the institution into the Parliament complex.
The museum displays ceremonial gifts given by international delegates to the Speaker of Lok Sabha, showing how India's parliament connects with other nations. These objects reflect the diplomatic relationships that parliament maintains through its work.
Access is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 5 PM, with the museum also accessible on Mondays during parliamentary sessions. It is worth checking ahead since hours may change depending on parliament's activities.
The museum features interactive stations where visitors can work through legislative procedures firsthand and understand how they actually function. These hands-on elements make otherwise abstract processes tangible and experiential.
