What is a museum? “Museums arrange the world according to the changing way we see it.” They are institutions that allow us to look backwards through a timeline of history and preserve it. Museums have existed since the dawn of history, the earliest ones dating back to Mesopotamia in 2-3 BCE. If we talk about the architectural typology of these institutions, we see the 19th century and the period of war have brought about a huge change in the concept of what a museum should be like. Rather than looking at these institutions as mere spaces that host artifacts and historical records as before the 19th century, the futurist movements in architecture pioneered in looking at these spaces as more than just being the host, adding to the experience, triggering a sense of history and emotions through well thought organization of various spaces, through movement in these spaces. The Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya set in the Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad built in 1963 by architect Charles Correa is a radical example of this emergence of a change in the typology of these institutions particularly in India.
