Gandhi Museum, Jaipur is housed in the campus of Rajasthan Khadi Gram Udyog Sansthan Sangh. In the year 1980, Gandhi Bhawan was constructed and inaugurated in the campus to create a dedicated space to showcase Mahatma Gandhi's life and his movements associated with India’s independence. With the efforts of Chandra Innovation Foundation & Rajasthan Khadi Gram Udyog Sansthan Sangh, Gandhi Museum, Jaipur was opened in Gandhi Bhawan in 2019, which marks the 150th birth anniversary year of Gandhi. The museum displays Gandhi’s journey from his birth, showcasing all the major moments in his personal and professional life.

The foyer of the Museum is named the Hall of Peace and Harmony and is dedicated to eight world leaders who followed Gandhi’s teachings and philosophy. The museum space is divided into various galleries depicting different periods of Gandhi life. The first gallery showcases the history of the Revolution of 1857, which marks the onset of British Raj in India.

The following two galleries are focused on Gandhi’s birth in 1869, childhood days, education, marriage and his life in England from 1889-1891. The next gallery is dedicated to his life as a lawyer in South Africa with glimpses of his family and public life. His arrival in India and life and activities at Sabarmati can be seen at the next gallery along with some of the major national activities of Gandhi like the Champaran movement, Dandi Satyagraha and the Congress meeting at Belgaum. The last gallery showcases India’s independence in 1947 and Gandhi’s final few days spent at Birla House before his assassination. A small space is created to resemble the Raj Ghat memorial in New Delhi.
