India to Build Mega-Museum with World’s ‘Largest Display Area’
India's cabinet approved on Wednesday a mega-museum showcasing the country's history and civilization, which the government said will cost around $340 million and have the largest display area in the world. First announced in 2023, the project received approval as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government renewed its emphasis on the country's pre-colonial cultural identity. The museum's name, Yuge Yugeen Bharat, translates roughly as "India through the ages" and invokes the country's ancient Sanskrit name, Bharat.
