Houston: Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston, EGMH, the first ever museum in the Americas dedicated to preserving and promoting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of nonviolent conflict resolution, is opening in the summer of 2023.
EGMH engaged Solid Light, Inc. from Louisville, Kentucky, to create a world-class museum in September 2019 after interviewing more than a dozen candidates. Solid Light is founded on the premise that people share a passion for great stories. Never willing to settle for the ordinary, they reach deep into their imaginations and diverse backgrounds to create compelling destinations that transform the understanding and generate a lasting impact.
For over 20 years, their in-house design, fabrication, film, and digi- tal experts have transformed audiences’ understanding and passion for museums, branded environments, educational institutions, and public spaces by telling those stories in unforgettable, engaging ways.
The Museum will deliver key messages through thought-provoking, immersive experiences designed to educate, entertain, and inspire lasting change. Solid Light has created the exhibit space such that the visitor experience will encourage exploration and engagement with Gandhi’s journey. There are three thematic gestures:
His Journey: Gandhi’s Life Lessons - his story is an inspiration for Our Future.
Our Journey: Gandhi’s Teachings continue to change Our World – its impact on Global
Peace Leaders.
My Journey: Inspire visitors to explore and reflect on Gandhian principles to find resonance in their Own Lives.
We are only a few months from opening Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston. Over the next few weeks, we will share further details about the museum gallery and its contents. So please stay tuned with our weekly installments.
The total budget for EGMH is $10 million, of which we have raised $7.3 million.

The Crime Investigation Agency of Bhiwani, which is investigating the case, found her skeletal remains Tuesday along the Garhi Jhanjhara road in Ganaur. The accused, who allegedly shot the woman dead, was arrested from Uttar Pradesh on April 2.
CIA-II Bhiwani in-charge Ravindra Kumar said that the accused Sunil was already married to another woman when he got involved with the victim, Monica (23). He also had two children from his first marriage.
Sunil and Monica got married at a Ghaziabad temple in May last year when the woman returned from Canada, the officer said. Monica had gone to Canada on a student visa in January last year after clearing the IELTS exam, as per police complaint by her sister.
“During our investigations, it came to the fore that between January and May 2022, the woman made a couple of trips to India,” he added.
Police said Sunil murdered Monica and buried her body in a
Kumar said the woman’s family was unaware of her return to the country. Her sister Roshni had in June last year lodged a missing report with the Gannaur police. In her complaint, Roshni had accused Sunil of luring Monica back to India. She had alleged that on her return, Sunil abducted Monica and eventually murdered her. On Roshni’s complaint, a case of abduction was registered by the police that initiated investigations.
“Their marriage was also registered before a court, where the accused concealed the fact that he was already married,” he said.
Kumar said as the woman was a neighbour of the accused in Gumad village in Sonipat, where she was living with her aunt, she was aware of the man’s marital status.
On why Sunil killed her, the police officer said, “Sunil did not enjoy a good marital relation with his wife and wanted to settle abroad.
He had thought if Monica gets Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada, he too could move there… However, when he felt his plan was not materialising, he murdered Monica.” He said preliminary investigations revealed that the farmhouse belongs to the accused, but it was being verified.
