The
National Museum of India was established on August 15, 1949, in the Durbar Hall
of Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi. Subsequently, a new building was constructed
suited to the purpose, and the by now sizeable collection was tranferred to the
new address, where the works of art were thrown open to the public on December
18, 1960. Today, the Museum houses more than 2, 00, 000 wonderful works of art,
Indian and international, spanning more than five thousand years of our cultural
heritage. Apart from collections of pre-history, archaeology, jewellery,
paintings, decorative arts, manuscripts, Central Asian antiquities,
anthropology, pre-Columbian and Western art, arms, armour, numismatics and
epigraphy, the Museum also houses a well-equipped Conservation Laboratory that
not only provides restoration to all the artefacts but also training facilities
to students and deserving professionals.
