about the gallery

A museum paying homage to the unsung heroes of the freedom struggle was inaugurated at the Red Fort by Union culture minister Mahesh Sharma on Monday. Built by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the museum in a building that was for decades a disused barracks is a fifth in the series of recently inaugurated ones. Titled Azaadi Ke Diwane, the museum uses experiential touch displays, scenario-based installations, public records and multimedia aids along with the more conventional informative displays to recreate memories from Indian history between 1857 and 1947.
