Excellent world class facility. Please note that you can only enter every half hour with a batch of people. When you buy a ticket, your start time is mentioned. Once you enter you will be given a headset audio guide. You can pick from some available languages, I forgot exactly which all they had. Then you go with your batch, from floor to floor and exhibit to exhibit. The exhibits are of two types 1. Where you can kind of independently listen to an exhibit. There is a wireless sensor connected to your headset. As soon as you approach the exhibit and within range of the exhibit sensor, the headset starts the narration of that exhibit. I recommend watching this with your other batchmates and timely so as to not miss anything 2. There are shows that involve projections and holograms. The show's have to be seen by the whole group together, no independent viewing. Due to this I recommend seeing the first kind of exhibits also with your group only. The whole places takes a bit more than 1.5 hours to complete all exhibits and then you can spend as much time as you want watching some other places that don't require the audio guide though these are mostly just testimonials of what others said of Mahatma Gandhi and also some of his visions etc. The only downside of the whole experience was that for #1 that I listed above, some people were just rushing through their independent exhibits so consequentially the whole group was a little rushed. But other than that it was an amazing experience. No photos are allowed on the inside but photos are allowed on the outside. Also any bags you have have to be submitted in a cloakroom just ahead of the ticket counter. There is ample parking. The giant charkha shaped bridge across the street is also a marvel

I recently visited Dandi Kutir and had a fascinating experience at the museum. Upon entering, we were provided with receivers and headphones, which added an interactive element to the tour. The lift ride to the museum was smooth, and upon arrival, the abundance of exhibits was impressive. The visuals within Dandi Kutir were captivating, with well-crafted interiors enhancing the overall ambiance. The collection of paintings, statues, and models was not only extensive but also of high quality. The integration of modern technology was efficient, making the museum experience both educational and enjoyable. One standout feature was the effective use of the Bluetooth/wifi system. As we approached different exhibits, the receiver and headphones automatically provided historical information and stories, enhancing the depth of understanding about each display. The seamless synchronization between the sender and receiver added a dynamic layer to the tour. The utilization of screen projection was particularly noteworthy. The visual aids complemented the exhibits, providing a comprehensive and engaging narrative. This thoughtful integration of technology contributed to an immersive and informative visit. Overall, Dandi Kutir, with its visually appealing displays, well-designed interiors, and clever use of modern technology, offers a rich and enjoyable museum experience. The combination of historical insights, captivating visuals, and efficient audio guidance makes it a must-visit for those interested in history and technology.

Dandi Kutir Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in learning about the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi. The museum is located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, and is shaped like a mound of salt, a nod to Gandhi's famous Salt March. The museum is divided into four floors, each of which tells a different story about Gandhi's life and legacy. The ground floor explores the concept of satyagraha, or nonviolent resistance, which Gandhi used to great effect in his fight for Indian independence. The first floor focuses on Gandhi's national satyagraha campaigns, such as the Salt March. The second floor tells the story of Gandhi's community satyagraha campaigns, which were aimed at improving the lives of the poor and marginalized. The third floor explores Gandhi's domestic satyagraha campaigns, which were focused on issues such as untouchability and communal harmony. In addition to the exhibits, the museum also features a number of interactive displays that allow visitors to learn more about Gandhi's life and work. There is also a theater that shows a short film about Gandhi's life. Dandi Kutir Museum is a well-designed and informative museum that does a great job of telling the story of Mahatma Gandhi. The exhibits are engaging and informative, and the interactive displays are a great way to learn more about Gandhi's life and work. I highly recommend visiting Dandi Kutir Museum if you are interested in learning more about Gandhi or Indian history.
