Mani Bhavan Gandhi Sangrahalaya
About This Museum
People come to Mani Bhavan not just to see a museum, but to stand in the very rooms where Gandhi lived and shaped a movement. You can almost feel his presence in his simple, preserved chamber on the second floor. The quiet halls are lined with poignant photographs and letters that tell a story far richer than any textbook. It’s a profoundly peaceful spot in the middle of Mumbai's buzz, leaving you with a real sense of connection to the man and his legacy.
Collection Highlights
The heart of it all is Gandhi's own sparse room, left just as it was. Don't miss the charming library of his personal books or the moving photo gallery documenting his life—the image of him at his spinning wheel is iconic. Up on the terrace, you'll find lifelike statues that seem to breathe life into history.
