The National Museum begin with an exhibition of Indian art
and artifacts at the Royal Academy in London 1947-48.
The Indian exhibition was shown at the Rashtrapati
Bhawan in 1949, and was so successful that it led to the
decision to form a permanent National Museum. On 15
August 1949
The National Museum was formally inaugurated by the
Governor-General of India, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari. At
that time, it was decided that until a permanent home could
be found for the collection, it would continue to be housed at
the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
The present museum building was laid by Jawaharlal Nehru,
then Prime Minister of India, on 12 May 1955.
The building was formally opened to the public on 18
December 1960.
Today the museum is administered and funded by the
Department of Culture, Ministry of Human Resource
