Le Corbusier Centre
Le Corbusier's former office in Chandigarh, displaying urban planning drawings, letters and photographs, the best place to start understanding how the city was born.
The centre is located in Sector 19. It was once the studio where Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret and others planned Chandigarh, and is made up of low brick buildings designed by Jeanneret. The galleries display city planning sketches, models, correspondence, old photographs, and furniture designed by the architects. The story of this ideal city is told through the exhibits, which have English captions. Entry is inexpensive, and it is closed on Mondays. It is recommended to visit here before exploring the Capitol Complex.
