5,000 years compacted into one building.

The National Museum.

After visiting Ghandi Smriti we continued our sightseeing at the National Museum. The museum boasts over 200,000 pieces from India and abroad, covering 5,000 years of cultural history. That’s a lot.

It was also the site of our first Indian meal. After lunch in the museum’s cafe to recharge our energy, we began exploring the many displays.

My favorites included the beautiful textiles and traditional dress.

Check out these costumes from tribal peoples. They remind me so much of the dress from native North and South Americans.
