Mishra, Himesh Reshammiya launch drive to promote modern heritage sites

In a bid to boost cultural tourism and inspire youth through India’s political legacy, Delhi’s Minister for Art, Culture and Tourism, Kapil Mishra, visited the Prime Ministers’ Museum at Teen Murti Marg on Friday. He was joined by noted singer and music director Himesh Reshammiya as part of a fresh campaign to highlight Delhi’s modern heritage landmarks.

The museum, a dynamic tribute to India’s political journey, features 14 immersive galleries dedicated to the country’s ex- PMs. It blends history with technology through attractions such as a 6D helicopter ride, interactive digital exhibits, a handwriting robot, a time machine and a kinetic LED-lit national flag, offering visitors an engaging and futuristic experience.

Mishra called the museum a “living archive” that brings the contributions of India’s past leaders to life. “It is a source of inspiration for the youth and a must-visit destination for every Indian,” he said.

Announcing the formal launch of a new tourism campaign, the minister said the Delhi Government would actively promote national landmarks such as Kartavya Path, Bharat Mandapam, the Prime Ministers’ Museum and Dr Ambedkar Memorial. These sites, he noted, were fast becoming symbolic of Delhi’s modern identity.

“With Himesh, we’re starting a new movement encouraging people from all corners of India to experience these iconic places,” Mishra said, adding that Delhi’s new-age tourist spots “did not just reflect India’s past — they defined its future”.
