The exhibition includes displays derived from classical Indian symbols such as the spinning wheel, turning prayer wheels, touching symbolic pillars, the act of hands touching sacred objects, and collaboratively constructed quilts. It embellishes the life of Gandhi in rhythmic with photographs, paintings, film footage, and video clips. A collection of over 40 exhibits shows the intersection of modern tactile computing and new green art with Gandhi's vision.
The exhibits were designed by Ranjit Makkuni,[3] who directed a team of over 200 artists, scientists, and craftspeople, and obtained the contribution of leading scholars and institutions from all over the world.
The Project won the ID Magazine New York award for its design contributions.[4]
A mobile version of the museum travels to different states of the country and abroad.
