Why go
This museum-focused day suits families and curious visitors looking for substantial indoor visits when outdoor sightseeing is less appealing. Begin at the National Science Centre, where interactive displays reward a generous time allowance. A short walk brings you to the National Crafts Museum, shifting the focus from scientific ideas to Indian making traditions. Finish at the National Gallery of Modern Art for a quieter encounter with modern and contemporary work. All three stops are essential, but the pace leaves room for a proper break between collections. Some museum sections and approaches are outdoors; check current opening days and temporary closures before travel.
