After a positive response, the same collections were shown at the Delhi's Rashtrapathi Bhavan. The exhibition enticed so many authorities that it was decided to establish National Museum of arts in Delhi. Thus, the National Museum came into being the same year and was opened by the then governor of India Chakravarti Rajagopalachari. However, the current museum building was completed in 1960, and thereafter it was open to the public.
