Constructed on a 10,000-square metre piece of land adjacent to the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library in Teen Murti Bhavan, the museum will have exhibits related to the former PMs such as rare photographs, speeches, video clips, newspapers, interviews and original writings on display, reports The New Indian Express.

According to TNIE report, the Culture Ministry officials said that appropriate space had been allocated to galleries of 14 former PMs proportionately according to their term in the office.

"The Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya (Museum of PMs) will be inaugurated on 14 April 2022," said Kanchan Gupta, senior adviser in Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

"The museum will create awareness about all prime ministers of India, said senior adviser to Information," Gupta said in a tweet.

It recognises the contribution of all prime ministers irrespective of their ideology, he added.

He further said that the museum is aimed at sensitising and inspiring the younger generation of India about the leadership, vision and achievements of all PMs of the country.
