Gurgaon: The Heritage Transport Museum in Haryana has opened its special anniversary exhibition, Posters That Moved India — a curated journey through India’s travel heritage from the 1930s to the 1970s. The show will remain open till February 28, 2026, at the Museum’s Exhibition Gallery, giving visitors ample time to explore this unique visual archive.
