Smritivan Museum

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. 

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.
• The project boasts of an earthquake museum spanning over 11,500 square metres, 50 check dams, sun point and pathways with an overall length of eight kilometres.
