Delhi showcases the country's absorbing geographical, political, social and art history in the range of fascinating museums found within its limits. The author has compiled in this volume a bird's eye view of ten important museums in the city. Each chapter is walk through the history of the exhibitions of each museum, and is lavishly illustrated with striking photographs. In departing from conventional formats of guide books and catalogues – with few exceptions, the only forms of information available currently on museums in Delhi – the author has accomplished the demanding task of presenting an admirably readable account of tem prominent museums in Delhi. The museums selected have been established in the last fifty years, post India's independence, but some have antecedents in pre-independence India. The narration reflects the painstaking research and infectious enthusiasm of the author, as well as an abiding interest, closing the gap between the wealth of information that museums provide and our own lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The book opens with a foreword by notes arts and cultural theorist, Kapila Vatsyayan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eListing of Museums in the Book:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sanskriti Museum of Everyday Art\u003cbr\u003e Gallery of Musical Instruments\u003cbr\u003e National Philatelic Museum\u003cbr\u003e National Museum of National History\u003cbr\u003e National Rail Museum\u003cbr\u003e Maritime Heritage Gallery\u003cbr\u003e Craft Museum\u003cbr\u003e Air Force Museum\u003cbr\u003e National Gallery of Modern Art\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Satyen Mohapatrais a special correspondent with a prominent English news daily, the Hindustan Times.
