The center is free of charge and open between 10 AM and 5 PM. It offers a basic introduction to LeCorbusier in Chandigarh by displaying photographs of the buildings he designed and disappointed letters he wrote while coordinating everything. You can also find some furniture designed by him in the center. The museum shop is closed and under construction. You cannot find any tour guides for a LeCorbusier tours there but we were referred to the architecture museum for that. Next door is the forestry department also designed by LeCorbusier.
