Partition museum opening to coincide with 76th Independence Day: Manish Sisodia

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia Friday visited the Dara Shikoh Library which is being converted into a “Partition museum”. He also inspected the construction to take stock of the project’s progress.

During his visit, he interacted with curators who provided him with a rundown of the work that had been completed on the project. He said that the museum’s opening will coincide with the 76th anniversary of Indian independence.

The museum would feature seven custom galleries — Migration,Refuge, Rebuilding Home,in the mind of the Artist, Rebuilding Relationship and Gallery of Hope.

The museum would offer an immersive virtual reality experience, which would allow visitors to explore partition memories from the people. Witnessing the same rail coaches, ancient havelis, and replicas of refugee camps would be exciting and nostalgic for many, said the minister.
