About this activity
You will be picked up from your hotel in Delhi and brought to the museum in Gurgaon. The entrance ticket to the museum includes the Audio tour for a comprehensive self-guided visit to this fascinating museum.

The museum was started by vintage car collector Tarun Thakral, who shares his collection of cars with the public to showcase the history of transportation in India.

Seventy-five vintage and classic cars staged on a retro Indian street reflect the evolution of the Indian car industry. This museum will also interest railway, aviation and two-wheeler fans. The collection of Indian Transportation Toys can be viewed and are a bonus to your visit.

Spread over three acres of land, the 90,000 square foot the museum has over 2,500 objects on display. The museum presents a snapshot of Indian heritage with a very modern twist. Besides the classic cars, you will also find these galleries in the museum:

Railways - this gallery explores the grandeur of travel by rail through a historically inspired railway platform and a 1930s restored railway saloon from BBCI Railway. Also on display are models of popular locomotives and memorabilia including original posters, train tickets, lamps and railway maps.

Two Wheelers - This gallery showcases the evolution of early two wheelers in India including bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, and mopeds. Indigenous systems of transport such as Phat-Phat, Chakhda, Jugaad, and Ganesha are also on display.

Maritime Gallery - This gallery depicts the history of India's inland waterways, their evolution and decline, and the story of the Ganges River alongside models of boats, navigational maps, and etchings.

Aviation - This section details the history and evolution of the Indian aviation industry, including early trials and experiments and the history and growth of Air India. Also on display are early models of aircrafts used in India, supported by original posters, timetables, tickets and advertisements. Suspended in mid-air in the gallery is a restored 1940s Piper J3C Cub aircraft.

Heavy Mechanized Transportation - Designed like a bus depot, this section showcases a display of restored buses. Also on display are vans and trams.

After your visit to the museum is complete, you will be transported back to your hotel in Delhi.
