New Delhi: A 300-metre walk from Gate 30 of the President’s official residence brings you to the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, a set of identical marble buildings surrounded by lush gardens. Stand between the two buildings, and right in your line of sight is the iconic Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, the first underground museum of India, was established by then President Pranab Mukherjee in 2014 and was opened to the public in 2016.

In a remote corner of the museum are a few selected items on display that were gifted to the last five Presidents of India—A.P.J.
