Nehru Childrens Dolls Museum

The day started with us visiting a Tattoo parlour and then doing brunch at Mcdonalds, Mani Square.

After that I finally made it to the Nehru Children's Dolls Museum for the first time ever. Some of the stuff there is just way out. A must see is the Ramayana & Mahabharata models.

Nehru Children's Museum
In order to pay homage to Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, National Cultural Association established the Museum in 1972 on Panditji's name on his birthday. Today when a child walks into Nehru Children's Museum, he walks into a world of treasure. It touches the imaginative mind and encourages him to know more. The exhibits in the museum which are spread over 4 floors, enable a child to take off to the world of epics, the world of science and to dream world.

Dolls gallery, Toys gallery, Ramayana & Mahabharata in clay models are the most fascinating archives for the children.

The Dolls Gallery had 1.2 crore  visitors since its inception.  Dolls from 92 countries are displayed here. There is a second Dolls Gallery where dolls from 37 countries are displayed. In addition, there is a Ganesh Gallery displaying 300 Ganesh Idols.

The Ramayana and Mahabharata in miniature models create a world for a child where he or she can spend time for hours and learns about our heritage epics.

The Museum remains open for all between 11 am and 7 pm on Wednesday through Friday and Saturday to Sunday from 10 am to 07 pm. The Museum remains close for public on Mondays and Tuesdays.
