The Parliament Museum and Archives has also exhibited some rare pictures of the Constitution Assembly of India and its members. A group picture of members of the Constituent Assembly, taken on the Parliament premises, is also on display at the exhibition. The Constituent Assembly had its first meeting on December 9, 1946 in the August Central Chamber (Central Hall) of Parliament. The exhibits include a monochrome photograph showing some of the members of the Constituent Assembly arriving to attend its first session and the text of the invitation that was sent out to its members by the Secretary of the Constituent Assembly. Rare images of some of the Constituent Assembly members, including its President Rajendra Prasad, and India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru signing the Indian Constitution are also part of the exhibition.
