Union minister Mr Sharma said the upcoming museum will cover the life and times and showcase the contribution of all 14 Prime Ministers of India, including Modi.
“(Collections and works on Jawaharlal) Nehru will not move to the new building. He (Nehru’s collections) will stay where he is — in the current Nehru Memorial Museum, which was also his residence,” Sinha said on Monday at the “bhoomi poojan” held at the site.
