On 29-July 2024, India’s Honourable Minister of Tourism and Culture, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, and Prince Rahim Aga Khan inaugurated a state-of-the-art sunken museum at the iconic 16th-century Humayun’s Tomb Complex in the heart of the nation’s capital.

The museum, developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) in partnership with the Archaeological Survey of India, is the culmination of 25 years of conservation efforts in a 300-acre site that encompasses Humayun's Tomb, Sunder Nursery and the Nizamuddin Basti. The museum takes visitors on a captivating journey through seven centuries of Nizamuddin’s rich heritage via a blend of digital experiences, gardens, and galleries that shed light on an important period of India’s history. The building serves as an underground bridge connecting the Humayun’s Tomb complex with the adjacent Sunder Nursery. It also includes a 100-seat auditorium, temporary galleries, and spaces for cafés, meeting rooms, and a library.
