Smritivan Museum
Context
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate Smritivan, a museum in Gujarat's Kutch built as a tribute to those who died in the 26 January 2001 Gujarat earthquake.
About
Smritivan museum:
- In Bhuj, Kutch, the 470-acre Smritivan Memorial Project is situated atop Bhujiyo Dungar.
- The eight blocks that make up the museum include Rebirth, Rediscover, Restore, Rebuild, Rethink, Relive, and Renew among other names.
- Each block has a different attraction based on its name.
- In addition to providing a glimpse of the rich Harappan civilisation, the science of seismology, Gujarat's legacy, culture, and art, and real-time emergency circumstances via a control room.
- The journey of Bhuj following the 2001 earthquake is narrated in the form of a presentation.
- The museums' floors and walls were created from indigenous Kutch stone.
- This stone's fascinating trait is that it only gets stronger with use.
