Museums and Memorials connecting India’s citizenry with national vibes via audio-visual genius has taken a new high in recent times. Giving a new dimension to this – perhaps blending vibes with inspirations from others – India now has a museum connecting with an earthquake, there by joining the league of few countries who have done it earlier. ‘Smritivan’ – as the museum is named – is thus India’s first Earthquake Memorial, created near Bhuj in Gujarat, as a tribute to the people who lost their lives due to the devastating quake that shook the region in 2001. Dedicated to the nation by the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently, the museum – with a combined competence of a galaxy of domain experts – opened a new chapter in the annals of museum AV, at least in the region.
