Established in 1958, the Central Sikh Museum was created to preserve and showcase the rich history and heritage of Sikhism. Initially, the museum was housed in a modest building before being relocated to its current location within the Golden Temple complex. The museum's collection has grown significantly over the years, thanks to donations from individuals and organizations. It now holds a vast array of artifacts that tell the story of Sikhism, from its origins to its present-day form. The museum aims to educate and inspire visitors about the principles, sacrifices, and contributions of the Sikh community throughout history.
