Galleries 3 & 4
Mahatma Gandhi Museum Rajkot
These galleries see visitors cross the seven seas with Gandhi to reach England where he passes the London Matriculation Exam. These galleries also recount remarkably Gandhiji’s return to Rajkot, his departure to Bombay and from there to South Africa. One of the incidents that proved to be a turning point in the journey of the man from Mohandas to Mahatma happened in South Africa where apartheid was prevalent. The incident of the young Gandhi being thrown out of the First Class compartment of a train at the Pietermaritzburg railway station comes alive through innovative use of audio-visuals.
Mahatma Gandhi Museum, Rajkot was previously known as Mohandas Gandhi Vidhyalaya, Alfred High School and Kathiawar High School established on 17th October 1853 with 36 students.
Gandhiji completed his graduation from Alfred High School (Kathiawar High School) in the year 1887. Out of 38 students who had passed the high school entrance examination, Gandhiji was one of only two students in his year of matriculate.
