India's first ever outdoor museum

Shaheedi Park

This is a combined collaboration between 10 artists and 700 skilled artisans, which finally culminated in the birth of Shaheedi Park. The initiative’s Waste to Art theme, a celebration of transformation, breathed life into this extraordinary haven. With over six months of dedicated effort, these gifted individuals sculpted history from 250 tonnes of discarded materials, crafting intricate artefacts that narrate the tapestry of India’s past.

This park resonates with echoes of India’s diverse epochs–from the ancient through the resplendent medieval era to the dynamic modern age. Amidst its verdant expanse, an engaging narrative unfolds, inviting visitors to embark on a captivating visual voyage through time. There are sections devoted to famous scientists from Indian history, Parav Vir Chakra winners, Eminent personalities, social reformers, Freedom fighters and famous episodes from India’s freedom struggle.

There are life size statues of Emperor Bharat, Rani laxmi Bai, Sardar Patel, Mahatma Gandhi and Chandra Sekhar Aad, all made from scrap and waste materials.

Located on the Bahadur Shah Zafar road, ITO metro station is the nearest metro station. Buses, Cabs and Autos are available. Clean rest rooms are available at the park. There are plenting of eating options nearby
