Nehru Centre :
The Nehru Centre looks like something out of a 1970's James Bond movie,but was actually designed by IM Kadri to reflect Nehru's vision of Indian modernism.It's a beautiful
cyinder-shaped building that achieves unity despite depicting multiple forces pulling in different directions. It opened in 1986 and now houses the Discovery of India exhibition, an art gallery, theatre and
resturant.
The Discovery of India expo is a lowtech, carefully labelled maze of worthwhile exhibits that's almost gauranteed to give a first-time visitor a majore headache. Inspired by Nehru's book of the same
namw, it seeks to wxplore 5000 years of history by investigating the the geographical, social, culture and political forces at play in the subcontinent.
It's highly informative in a school trip kind of way, but it's best to concentrate on just a couple of the major themes, such as the detailed exhibits depicting Nehru's life and times.Other interesting topics include the Mauryan
empirem, the impact of the west and the struggle for independece.
