It stands as a testament to the hands that have shaped the nation, representing India's rise as a global power. This captivating piece of architecture enthrals visitors with its unique design, seamlessly blending landscape and structure, and embracing the spirit of the nation's ongoing progress. "In fact, our architectural design concept itself became the logo of the museum," informs architect Raman Sikka, Associate Principal, Sikka Associates.

At its core, the museum presents a profound concept India's leaders moulding a rising form, much like a potter's wheel, symbolising the collective efforts of the people and visionary leaders in shaping a strong nation. The museum pays tribute to an emerging and ever-evolving India, guided by its statesmen over the years.

The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya artfully combines architectural elements, structural innovation, and landscape design. Overlooking a lush green slope, reminiscent of Lutyens Delhi planning, the museum offers a captivating experience to visitors. As they approach, the play of light and shadow enhances its appeal, creating a mesmerising sight.
