Chandigarh Architecture Museum
The Chandigarh Architecture Museum was established in 1997 to document, preserve, and showcase rare documents, drawings, sketches, and archives related to the making of Chandigarh.
The museum is housed in a sculptural building designed by architect S.D. Sharma, inspired by a structure designed by Le Corbusier for an exhibition pavilion in Zurich in 1965. The museum is divided into four levels, each offering a unique perspective on the city's architectural history.
The basement level features panels that unfold the trauma of the partition of India in 1947 and the need to build a new capital city. The second level showcases exhibits related to Le Corbusier and the selection of his team, including models and blueprints of important buildings.
The third level is dedicated to the theme "Chandigarh: Today and Tomorrow," displaying the city's growth after the initial phase of construction. The uppermost floor serves as a terrace with a view of the Shivalik hills.
