About this audio guide
This guide to the Prime Ministers' Museum & Library in Delhi begins in May 2008, when a representative arrived at Teen Murti Bhavan — Jawaharlal Nehru's former residence — with instructions to remove his most private letters. It traces the building's transformation from Nehru's memorial into a museum honoring every Indian prime minister in 2022, and the objections his political heirs raised. Listen for what those fifty-one cartons of letters contained, and where they ended up.
