India to Build World's Largest Museum Twice the Size of Louvre by 2025

Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat announced plans for developing North and South Blocks of Delhi's Raisina Hill into the world's largest museum by 2025. The project, in collaboration with France, will be nearly double the size of Louvre and will depict India's 5,000-year history.

Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat revealed on Sunday that India will transform the North and South Blocks of Delhi's Raisina Hill into the world's largest museum by 2025, dwarfing France's Louvre in size.

This groundbreaking project stems from an agreement between France and India, with Shekhawat expressing pride in his role in its execution.

The Minister shared these developments with the media during his visit to his Jodhpur Lok Sabha constituency, his first since assuming his position in the Union cabinet.

He emphasized that once the Central Vista redevelopment project concludes and the offices relocate in 2025, the North and South Blocks will be repurposed into a museum highlighting India's 5,000-year history.

Additionally, Shekhawat mentioned that India will host the World Heritage Committee meeting for the first time, potentially adding another heritage site to its already impressive list.
