Gandhi Museum, Madurai

HistoryEdit

Gandhi Memorial Museum, established in 1959, is a memorial museum for Gandhi located in the city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. Years after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 an appeal was made to the citizens of India nationwide to build memorials for Gandhi. With the help of contributions from poor and rich citizens of India, a trust was established with the name Mahatma Gandhi National Memorial Trust, for this cause. This museum was inaugurated by the former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 15 April 1959. Gandhi Memorial Museum in Madurai comes under the Peace Museums Worldwide selected by United Nations Organisation(UNO). The palace of Rani Mangammal has been renovated and converted into the museum. The palace was built in 1670 by the Nayak rulers and changed hands between the Nawab of Carnatic and the East India Company, among others. It was only in 1955 that the State Government of Tamil Nadu gifted this property to the All India Gandhi Smarak foundation, with about 13 acres of land in tow.
