Some details of the room:
The design of the Indian Nationality Room will seek to highlight
an ancient Indian educational tradition which reached its zenith at Nalanda
University in Central India during the 7th.-12th. century, A.D. Nalanda
attracted thousands of students, including many from outside of
India. At its zenith it epitomized a period of Indian history that is
referred to as the age of Indian Renaissance. This was a period that
not only saw more political and artistic unity than at any other time, it
also represented the peak of India's artistic development in music,
painting, literature,
drama and architecture.
