Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum to Showcase 5,000 Years of Indian Civilization, First Gallery in 2026

India is set to make cultural history with the creation of Yuge Yugeen Bharat, a national museum in New Delhi that will become the largest in the world, surpassing the Louvre in Paris. Developed under the Central Vista Redevelopment Project, the museum will span 1.55 lakh square metres and house 80,000–100,000 artefacts across nearly 30 thematic galleries.

Once fully operational, the museum will provide visitors with a comprehensive view of India’s 5,000-year-old heritage, from the Indus Valley Civilization to modern times.
