The museum is a facility of the Archaeological Survey of India and has been built with support from the Ministry of Tourism (Government of India), Aga Khan Trust for Culture, Havells, Avanee Foundation, Tata Trusts, US Ambassadors’ Fund for Cultural Preservation, and the German Embassy

Situating the Museum at the entrance zone of the Sundar Nursery and Humayun’s Tomb Complex, just off Mathura Road and Lodhi Road, the architecture of the Museum has been inspired by the tradition of geometric forms in Mughal architecture. The gallery spaces are arranged in a sequence of intersecting squares, with wide column spans of eight meters. Given the high volume of visitors expected at the site, the public circulation sequence has also been developed along a primary axis, spanning the entire length of the Museum.
