President Pranab
Mukherjee’s second year in office will be marked by inauguration of a new
museum, a dinner for the Council of Ministers and release of three books apart
from a melange of cultural activities. A new museum, ‘The
Stables’, will be inaugurated on July 25 at the
Rashtrapati Bhavan. Visitors will get a glimpse of the history of the erstwhile
Viceregal Lodge and get to see the exquisite gifts that Presidents over the
years have received from Heads of State and royalty. Also on display will be artefacts
that were hitherto tucked away in the Toshakhana. The museum has been
constructed by the Central Public Works Department and the building was earlier
used as part of the stables. A portion of it was used as a garage for the
buggies owned by the President’s House.
