The easiest way to get to the New Delhi National Museum on the Delhi Metro is to take either the Yellow or Violet Line to the Central Secretariat station or the Yellow Line to the Seva Teerth station (formerly known as Udyog Bhawan station). You can also take the bus.

The museum has a huge collection of items spanning five millennia, with galleries spread over three floors. Famous objects include a temple chariot located near the museum’s entrance; a ground-floor gallery focuses on the Harappan civilization. Other highlights include collections of jewelry, manuscripts, armor, textiles, decorative arts, and coins.
