Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Head straight to the Children's Gallery (ground floor) — hands-on exhibits for ages 4-10.
The Harappan Civilization section has a miniature city model with tiny houses.
Book a guided family tour in advance — storytelling-focused, not date-heavy.
Combine with India Gate (10 min walk) for a morning + picnic afternoon.
Don't try the whole museum. Pick 3-4 galleries max.

A Real Parent's Story
How a 4000-year-old seal saved museum day
“My 7-year-old was bored until the kids' guide showed her how to make her own Harappan seal in clay.”
Read full story
My kids have zero patience for museums. The Children's Gallery was a game-changer. They spent 45 minutes in the Harappan section, making seal impressions in clay and playing with replica toys from 2500 BCE.
