The museum at the Humayun’s Tomb Complex, developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in partnership with the Archaeological Survey of India, is the fruit of 25 years of conservation efforts in a 300-acre site that includes Humayun's Tomb, Sunder Nursery and the Nizamuddin Basti. The rich heritage of this enclave in Nizamuddin has lasted seven centuries -- and continues to flourish, thrive and delight. The museum takes visitors on a captivating journey through this period, while the building also ingeniously serves as an underground bridge between the Humayun's Tomb complex and Sunder Nursery. Speaking at the inauguration of the museum along with Prince Rahim Aga Khan, now the Aga Khan, Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat stated that the museum relates stories associated with Humayun's Tomb, a World Heritage Site which is visited by over a million visitors annually.
