France, India Team Up For ‘World’s Largest Museum’ Near Rashtrapati Bhavan
The museum, named ‘Yuga Yugeen Bharat National Museum’ will tell the story of India – a timeline spanning more than 5,000 years.
It will be located on Raisina Hill – the seat of the Central government. The museum will be housed in the North Block and South Block buildings, which are currently the address of the foreign ministry, home ministry, defence ministry, finance ministry, and several other ministerial offices.
France, which wanted to be a part of this mega project, has a similar history with respect to its renowned museum – The Louvre – and hence has global expertise in adaptive reuse of historic buildings of archeological significance
