Nehru Memorial Museum & Library (NMML)

Nehru Memorial Museum & Library Logo
Nehru Memorial Museum and Library ( NMML ) is a unique institution which attempts to recollect. preserve and reconstruct the history of the anti-imperialist struggle in India. It was founded in 1966 and was envisioned as a world-class institution of advanced study which would foster academic research on modern and contemporary history.
In August 194$ Teen Murti House became the official residence of independent India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru who lived here for sixteen years until his death on 27 May 1964. After his death it was decided that Teen Murti Bhawan should be converted into a museum and a library which would promote original research in modern Indian History with special reference to the Nehru Era.
Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society was formed on the 1st April 1966. Initially, the Museum was set up in the eastern wing and the Library in the western wing of the sprawling building. With the passage of time and the rapid growth of research material in the Library, more space was required and an exclusive Library building was constructed.
It was formally inaugurated by the then President, V. V. Giri, in January 1974. However, the steady increase in the volume of material required for research further necessitated the construction of an annexe building which was completed in 1989. The Centre for Contemporary Studies was set up in this building as a new unit in 1990.
To commemorate the Foundation Day of the NMML. It has been decided to organise an Annual Lecture on the 1st April every year and name it Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Foundation Day Lecture.

  4. I think the phone number is wrong. the Nehru memorial museum and Library is a big organisation and the director as this web says isthe head of the organisation. The Director is not the right person to enqire about the library membership. I have incidentally met the director on ne ocassion and found she is one of the finest human being and despite lot of attacks on her personally and the vested interests from home and abroad to take over the institute, she rsponded to dozens of children who had come there to visit the musuem. the number it seems is 23013555.
