Humayun’s Tomb Museum celebrates not just the life of this Mughal ruler but also the centuries-long Mughal Empire, its architecture, and the Sufi traditions that defined Hindustani culture. The museum sheds light on the development of Nizamuddin over a millennium. At the entrance of Humanyun’s Tomb a ramp leads visitors down to ‘Badshah Ki Khwabgah: Where The Emperor Rests’. A large air-conditioned subterranean museum spread over 100,000 square feet area awaits them. The Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the Archaeological Survey of India have jointly set up the museum. The museum has five galleries, one of which offers a 270-degree screen for a virtual tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site’s monuments and gardens. The routes Humayun took during his long campaigns and fierce battles are meticulously mapped out in one of the galleries.
