Do it online: useful services and information
Anubhav is a special tactile gallery that aims to expand access for all visitors, particularly visitors with disabilities. It has on display 22 tactile replicas of museum objects, carefully chosen from the vast collection of National Museum by its curators representing 5000 years of Indian art. The idea is to provide a rich and engaging experience to visitors aesthetically, historically and intellectually. The objects range from archaeological finds, sculptures, tactile impressions of paintings, utilitarian objects, ethnographic objects and decorative arts.
Despite being the foundation of India’s cultural history, the Prehistoric and Chalcolithic periods remain among the least understood and most underrepresented aspects of India’s past, even among museum professionals, educators, and the general public. Popular awareness tends to begin with the Harappan Civilization or later historical periods, often overlooking the long and significant record of human presence, technological development, and cultural evolution that preceded them.
