Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Memorial is a museum dedicated to the memory of Sardar Patel. The structure itself was once a palace built by Shah Jahan, Moti Shahi Mahal. Later, during the British rule it was converted into a cantonment area for them which housed the senior officials of the Company.
It was then converted into a Museum in 1978. The Museum features more than 10,000 exhibits of traditional arts as well as the personal belongings and biographies of Sardar Patel. The Museum is also well equipped with the latest technologies like LCD displays, multi-touch tablets and multimedia.
