At the Humayun’s Tomb World Heritage Site Museum—Delhi’s newest cultural attraction—one can take lessons from history on a whole new level, quite literally. The ‘sunken museum’, as it is called for being an underground facility, houses over 500 never-seen-before artefacts from the Mughal era, painstakingly conserved by the National Museum, Archaeological Survey of India and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) over 25 years. The first-of-its-kind museum in the country is spread over 1 lakh square feet [10,000 square meters]. The museum also includes facilities such as a 100-seater auditorium, temporary galleries, spaces for cafes, meeting rooms, a library, and more. The centrepiece of the museum is the 18-ft-tall golden finial or kalash, which once crowned the dome of Humayun’s Tomb but was knocked off in a storm in 2014. It has since been repaired by traditional coppersmiths and is now housed inside the museum.
