Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, Presidential museum in Chanakya Puri Tehsil, India.
The Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum is a museum in Chanakya Puri with three main exhibition halls displaying artifacts, photographs, and documents related to the Indian presidency. The collections document the role and history of the president and various aspects of national administration and diplomacy.
The building was designed by Edwin Lutyens in 1929 and served as the president's residence for decades. The museum opened in 2016 and uses a section of this historic complex to display presidential collections.
The museum displays ceremonial dress, official gifts from foreign dignitaries, and traditional objects that showcase the diverse heritage of India's states.
You should book your visit in advance through the official website and bring valid identification documents to pass through the security checkpoint. Plan your timing well, as access to certain areas may be restricted and group visits sometimes have limitations.
The Natural History Gallery contains detailed models of presidential chambers and gardens that show visitors spaces normally kept private. These recreations allow you to understand the architectural details and layout of these rooms without entering the actual residence.
