This ensures that when citizens walk through these halls, they see their art, their creativity and their cultural imagination being celebrated in Rashtrapati Bhavan," Modi said in a written message on the occasion.

The museum was set up during Pranab Mukherjee's tenure as President. Matt Ridley, a British biologist and the great-grandson of Lutyens's had criticised the move to remove the statue.
