Moreover, the project will use adaptive reuse to preserve the colonial-era architecture of the North and South Blocks. Courtyards, corridors, and rooms will be converted into integrated exhibition spaces while retaining their historic character. Additionally, visitors will experience immersive technologies, augmented reality, virtual reality, AI-driven exhibits, children’s zones, performance spaces, food courts, and souvenir outlets. The museum will accommodate 30,000 visitors daily and around one crore visitors annually.
Furthermore, the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum is expected to become a major cultural hub for students, researchers, tourists, and the public. Once completed, it will surpass renowned institutions such as the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. Meanwhile, the project aims to celebrate India’s continuity, diversity, and cultural legacy through modern storytelling.
