• 01 Jul 2024

The four-day Capacity Building Workshop on the Yuga Yugeen Bharat Museum was held from 26th to 29th June 2024 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.

• This workshop aims to transcend the traditional museum experience, embodying the spirit of inclusivity.

Key Points

• The Museum will stand as a testament to India’s rich heritage and its unwavering spirit of progress.
• The new National Museum of India will come up at North and South Block as part of the Central Vista Redevelopment project that seeks to revamp India’s central administrative area located near Raisina Hill in New Delhi.
• The museum will be spread over 1 lakh 54 thousand square metre area, making it the largest museum in the world.
• The Museum will be developed through Adaptive Reuse, in collaboration with France owing to their expertise in similar projects such as the Louvre, which too housed the French Ministry of Finance.
• The French are partners for this project owing to the long-standing friendship between the two countries, which had contributed to a Letter of Intent being signed between both governments in 2020 that emphasised Museum & Heritage Co-operation.
