The museum will highlight the essence of Gandhi\u2019s teachings and ways of life, from the design of the building to the visitor experience and educational programming.<\/p>\n<p>The Museum\u2019s second gallery will focus on Gandhi\u2019s early years. As a child, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was shy but mischievous. He would run home after school to avoid interacting with other children. When prodded by his teacher to correct a spelling error on a test, he refused as Gandhi thought this was considered cheating.<\/p>\n<p>EGMH is an interactive museum allowing visitors to learn about Gandhi\u2019s formative years. A unique interactive station of three objects significant to Gandhi\u2019s youth stands before a sculpture of young Gandhi. When a visitor touches one of the objects, a video is activated, displaying on the screen behind the statue illustrating young Gandhi\u2019s character. Object 1, labeled \u201cHonesty &amp; Forgiveness\u201d will display the emotional story of his confession to his father for stealing. Object 2, labeled \u201cTruthfulness,\u201d shows values he learned from Raja Harishchandra, King of Ayodhya. Object 3, labeled \u201cOvercoming Fear,\u201d shows how he overcomes his fears through chanting and meditation.<\/p>\n<p>The total budget for EGMH is $10 million, of which we have raised $7.3 million.
