About Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum :

The former residence of Indira Gandhi is now a fascinating museum, displaying artefacts, photos and newspaper clippings, as well as personal belongings, including the blood-stained sari she was wearing when she was assassinated in 1984. Some of the rooms are preserved as they were, an interesting window into the understated elegance of her life. Another section is devoted to her son Rajiv, also assassinated in 1991 by a suicide bomber. Fragments of the clothes he was wearing and, even more poignantly, his trainers, are on display. On the way out, you’ll pass an enclosed crystal pathway that marks Gandhi’s final footsteps before her murder.
Indira Gandhi museum preserve some of the belongings of Indira Gandhi, including the sari she was wearing when she was assassinated. There is a compilation of photographs, which record the Nationalist movement and the Nehru-Gandhi family. The spot where Indira Gandhi was assassinated is enclosed in a glass frame. One can still see the dried blood spots. The residence turned museum half part is museum other part covered with glass is the residence...Many ppl come and visit to see the belongings and where assasination took place.
