Indian Museum Movement

The Indian Museum Movement refers to the initiative to establish and develop museums across India, especially during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It aimed to promote cultural preservation, education, and public engagement with India's rich heritage. The movement saw the founding of significant institutions, such as the Indian Museum in Kolkata, which showcases art, archaeology, and natural history. By fostering an appreciation for India's diverse history and cultural diversity, the movement played a crucial role in educating the public and nurturing national identity, becoming an essential part of India's social and cultural fabric.
