An Immersive Theatre on 1857 War of Independence is a unique experience that is to be seen and felt, even as the virtual reality set helps you witness the Kakori Train Action in a new way.
A flip poster exhibition depicts the films that were inspired by the Freedom struggle and that contributed in nation building. Udaykaal, Upkaar, Mother India, Bose, the Forgotten Hero are some of the examples.
