A visit to the Mughal emperor Humayun’s tomb and surrounding gardens is a must-do in New Delhi. With the opening of India’s first subterranean museum last summer—the Humayun’s Tomb Site Museum, supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) and the Ministry of Tourism in New Delhi—one is now able to immerse into his world of art, architecture, astronomy, literature and exquisite decorative arts that are part of this legacy. The museum has over 500 artefacts—sourced from the National Museum in Delhi, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and AKTC’s collections, as well as commissioned pieces. “Every object and artefact is being displayed for the first time,” says Ratish Nanda, CEO of Aga Khan Trust for Culture (India), adding that the objective is to share the research of the ASI and AKTC teams over 25 years of conserving and uncovering the histories of Nizamuddin, the historical Delhi neighbourhood.
