Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston, EGMH, is the first ever museum, in the Americas dedicated to preserving and promoting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of nonviolent conflict resolution.
EGMH proudly pays tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, the apostle of peace and Father of modern-day India.
The museum is housed on a 3-acre parcel of land in Southwest Houston, located at 12379 Riceville School Road in Houston, Texas. The museum is on the west-bound feeder road of S. Sam Houston Parkway West near W. Airport Blvd.
EGMH teamed with RDLR Architects, TDK Construction Company and Solid Light, a museum design-build firm from Louisville, Kentucky.
The museum is “not about objects but for someone” — inspiring champions of peace with each visitor. The goal is to encourage visitors to embrace these values in their own lives. From the design of the building, the visitor experience, and the educational programming, the museum is the essence of Gandhi’s teachings and will highlight his way of life.
