#Challenge ! Exploring culture and heritage on International Museum Day

This post is a member of the International Museum Day Challenge, initiated by @TravellerG

I have visited quite a few museums in India and would like to share my insights via this forum.

1. National Museum - Delhi
2. National museum of modern art
3. National Science Museum - Delhi
4. Museums inside Red Fort - Delhi
5. Museum of Natural history - this place was one of my favourite however in 2016 the building caught fire and all archives have been destroyed it was very dis heartening for me :cry:
6. Museum of Goa - this was a disappointment as the name suggests however it is not a museum of Goa it’s a personal art gallery and entry fee also too high, we visited thinking we will know about history and culture of Goa, but it is not :disappointed_face:
7. Sanchi Archaeological Museum - Madhay Pradesh
8. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya - Mumbai
9. Nehru Science Center - Mumbai

For me museum is a place to know the history and culture and significant information which helps you build your knowledge and learn new things.

I often visit museum with my kids so that they also learn about the heritage of that place.

Wow that’s amazing to see you have visited so many museums. Yes I remember the incident at National Museum of Natural History, it was a tragedy. I have visited the museum back in 2007 and was indeed one of my favourites. Thank you for sharing @Vandana_shines Keep contributing

It is exciting to see that you have visited so many museums in Delhi @Vandana_shines

However, Connect is a place where we share our experiences at these places.

Check, for example, how to write a post about a visit to a museum.

  • Which days is it closed?
  • Entry Ticket.

No worries, we all are learning from one another :+1:

Hello dear fellow LG @Vandana_shines

I fully agree with you…we too had a very similar shock… after paying a very high entry fee…we couldn’t stay back for even an hour…
For your company, I’m adding a photo of the Museum of Goa:

Hope you remember this frame!
