humayun’s tomb site museum

The Site Museum aims to enhance the visitor’s experience, provide an opportunity to host collections of Mughal art, architecture and culture, and become a model for other such facilities across the country.

The proposed building is constructed below ground level to comply with a 1.2m height restriction, ensuring no disruption of visual linkages.  The footprint of the Museum preserves the large number of existing trees and vegetation on the site. The Museum will host both permanent and temporary exhibition galleries as well as a souvenir shop. Portions of the building within Sunder Nursery will include areas for administrative office space, a cafe, auditorium, and seminar rooms.  These two portions of the complex will be connected by an underground pedestrian path.
