Hello everyone, I hope you are all liking my posts. Well, today I will be discussing about the Nehru Memorial Museum which is inside the Teen Murti Bhavan.
The Nehru Memorial Museum started on 1st April' 1965, by recreating, rearranging all the Nehru Ji's stuff. Since that day, an annual lecture take place in Teen Murti Bhavan on April 1st every year. The lecture is named Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Foundation Day Lecture.
The museum opens is open all week except mondays. It's timings are from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.The museum contains several rooms with manuscripts, letters and pictures from the Nehru’s Office. The whole museum gives you a glance of our pre and post independence movement. Teen Murti Bhavan comes under the Ministry of Culture.
The building is made by Robert Tor Russel (Chief Architecture of the Public Works Department in 1930's) British Architecture who was also the architecture of Connaught Place. It’s architecture is called the Neo-classical style. The idea of Neo-classical style was kept in his mind by Sir Edwin Lutyens (British Architecture; known for adapting traditional architecture styles to the requirement of time). Many of the rooms in the museum is recreated using the same furniture while some are left the same to show the living style at that time.
The museum is made be stone and stucco.fine plaster used for coating wall surfaces or moulding into architectural decorations) and marble flooring. It has pediment windows.
Well, in Teen Murti Bhavan mainly curved pedimented windows are used. The whole museum is constructed in a military way and also has a lot of wood work in it's interior. The fans and lights hangs down the roof by the help of a rod. It has arched tombs and had LED lights to inlight the walls from within.Bal Ram Nandha was it's first foundation director. He even received a Padma Vibhushan in 2003.
