I am so glad to see this museum open in Houston. Apostle of peace - Gandhi - whose ideals are more so relevant today than they have ever been before. Museum does a great introduction to the man himself, and links his ideas to present day Malala, Obama and Greta Thurnberg. It should take about an hour or so to tour the museum. Quiet, clean and tastefully displayed, it is a great addition to the list of museums in Houston.

We were the first group to tour the center. They had plenty of guides so they broke us up into smaller groups spaced a few minutes apart. This way, we didn't miss a thing. It's a beautiful museum filled with information, words, and feelings of peace and inspiration. Thank you for a great visit.

This new museum is outstanding. The founders, organizers and architects have outdone themselves with the planning and execution of building this terrific museum. It’s very interactive and extremely interesting. Good for all age groups. Some parts of the museum are geared toward children while other parts are for all ages. I can’t say enough good things about the museum.

It's a lovely museum filled with lots of informative displays. It might seem small in footprint from the outside but inside there is a large amount of information on the life of Gandhi and all who he impacted. Our tour guide, Atul, was very friendly and his knowledgeable as well!
