SOUTH ASIA'S FIRST METRO MUSEUM IN NEW DELHI
South Asia's first modern Metro Museum, showcasing the Delhi Metro, in New Delhi, is the only such installation worldwide in an operational Metro station.
Metro Museums can be found in only a few European, US and Japanese cities, but the one at Delhi Metro is the only one of its kind in an operational station (Patel Chowk) set up in a short duration of two months.
The museum, a collection of display panels, historical photographs and exhibits, traces the genesis of the Delhi Metro which took 32 years to reach the operational stage from the drawing boards, major milestones, issues regarding the selection of the technology such as rolling stock (trains), rail gauge, etc.
