The inauguration of the sunken museum at Humayun’s Tomb marks a significant development in promoting cultural tourism in Delhi, India. This museum, built by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) on behalf of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), as part of an urban renewal initiative, is expected to draw visitors from around the world. By combining historical artifacts with modern technology, the museum provides an enriching experience that enhances Delhi’s status as a key destination for cultural and historical tourism. Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat inaugurated the new museum, with Prince Rahim Aga Khan in attendance. The layout of the museum is inspired by medieval ‘baolis’ or traditional water tanks. It aims to showcase the legacy of Mughal emperor Humayun, including lesser-known aspects of his life, and the heritage of the Nizamuddin area over the past seven centuries. The museum’s centrepiece is the finial of Humayun’s Tomb, which was knocked off in a storm in 2014. Other artefacts on display include, an astrolabe, a celestial sphere from the 1840s, and a warrior’s helmet from the 16th or 17th century.
