India’s first sunken museum was inaugurated on July 29 at the iconic Humayun's Tomb complex in New Delhi. As per reports, Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat officially opened the museum, which showcases over 500 artefacts, many of which are on public display for the first time. The museum is inspired by traditional 'baolis' or water tanks, and offers insights into the life of Mughal emperor Humayun and the rich heritage of the Nizamuddin area. Developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in collaboration with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the museum is a product of 25 years of conservation efforts across the 300-acre site that includes Humayun's Tomb, Sunder Nursery, and Nizamuddin Basti.
