A visit to Nehru Centre

Today we went to Nehru Centre - mainly for the planetarium, but ended up amazed by the exhibits at the Centre. I would definitely suggest it to be on your checklist if you have the slightest of interest in art and Indian history...


The building impresses with its outlook itself, and it does not disappoint from the inside as well - with well depicted and picturesque history of the Indian freedom struggle, exhibits of various monuments and cultural artworks, replica statues of immaculate detail and more to watch. Named "Discovery of India"; the exhibit very well justifies its name...
It had also housed painting exhibits of students of an art school - with paintings costing roughly in the 15k to 25k range(and us wondering why one pays so much money for them...). On the bright side - Entry is Free :D

Check out the website; or more aptly go to the place to have a nice time: http://www.nehru-centre.org/

Oh, and the planetarium - for the 50/- ticket, it is worth it, but with the issue of one of the projector not working and flickering lights, it can be quite a letdown! But a renovation is scheduled in the near future, so for later visitors things might be hopefully more fun..
