Rute

1. You will be picked up at 10:00 AM from your hotel in New Delhi city center in an air conditioned vehicle and be driven to your first stop on this unique museum tour. There you will meet your local English speaking guide. The National Museum is one of the largest museums in India. Established in 1949, its collections range from the prehistoric era to modern works of art. The museum has over 200,000 works of art, both of Indian and foreign origins, covering over five thousands years of Indian cultural heritage. The roots of the National Museum began with an exhibition of Indian art and artifacts at the Royal Academy in London in 1947. At the end of the London exhibition, the curators decided to display the same collection in India. It was so successful that they decided to form a permanent National Museum.

3. Our last visit will be to the National Gandhi Museum. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on the evening of January 30, 1948. Shortly after his death, collectors started searching for and preserving the personal relics, manuscripts, books, journals and documents, photographic and audio-visual material, all that could go into a Museum on the life, philosophy and work of Gandhi. In 1951, the museum was set up in Delhi. The imposing two story building was formally inaugurated by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the President of India, on January 30, 1961. The National Gandhi Museum has rich exhibits and other memorabilia closely connected with Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian Freedom Struggle. After finishing your tour, you will be driven back to your hotel in New Delhi in your air conditioned vehicle.

About New Delhi

New Delhi forener Indiens hovedstads statelige alléer med Gamle Delhis basarer og mogulmonumenter, en by af lag på lag af imperier og fantastisk mad.

Den planlagte hovedstad har sit centrum i en stor ceremoniel allé, der løber fra Indiens Port til Rashtrapati Bhavan, præsidentpaladset. I nærheden ligger Humayuns Grav, en forløber for Taj Mahal, i formelle haver, og i syd rejser Qutub Minar sig, en tårnhøj minaret af sandsten. Lotustemplet og det enorme Akshardham-kompleks er slående moderne vartegn.
