Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister on 14^th April, 2022. It recognizes the contribution of all the Prime Ministers of India and shows how our democracy has provided an opportunity for leaders from every class and tier of society to contribute to nation building. It is a new digital museum spread over two buildings. Building 1 comprises the old Teen Murti building, gallery of Shri Jawaharlal Nehru, Constitution galleries, Toshakhana and the private wing of Shri Jawaharlal Nehru. Building 2 showcases the personal life along with the social, political and economic reforms of the succeeding Prime Ministers from Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri to Dr. Manmohan Singh. Each gallery highlights the contributions made by them during their tenure as the Prime Minister of India.

Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya is equipped with a visitor engagement zone named ‘Anubhuti’ where visitors can opt for ‘Selfie with Prime Minister’, ‘Walk with Prime Minister’, ‘Letter from Prime Minister’ and a virtual helicopter ride showcasing the architectural and technological marvels of the nation. Visitors can choose the Prime Minister with whom they wish to engage in the engagement zone. The visitors can lodge their inspirational message on the vision 2047 feedback wall as well as record their presence on a big wall in group in the ‘Unity Chain’. The Sangrahalaya also has golf carts and wheel chairs for smooth movement of people, guides/audio guides, Cafeteria and a Souvenir shop.

The Museum showcases the journey of Independent India guided by its Prime Ministers. It does not focus on the history of different states in particular.
