Gandhi Memorial Museum, established in 1959, is a memorial museum for Gandhi located in the city of #Madurai in #TamilNadu, India. Known as Gandhi Museum, it is now one of the five #GandhiSanghralayas (Gandhi Museums) in the country. It includes a part of the blood-stained garment worn by Gandhi when he was assassinated by Nathuram Godse. Years after the assassination of #MahatmaGandhi, in 1948 an appeal was made to the citizens of India nationwide to build memorials for him. With the help of contributions from poor and rich citizens of India, a trust was established for this cause, the Mahatma Gandhi National Memorial Trust. This museum was inaugurated by the former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 15 April 1959. #GandhiMemorialMuseum in Madurai comes under the Peace Museums Worldwide selected by the United Nations Organisation (UNO). The palace of Rani Mangammal was renovated and converted into the museum.
