Humayun’s Tomb Museum, Delhi
There are unexpected treasures, such as a selection of terracotta sculptures that bring to mind Harappan artefacts. These were among hundreds of items excavated at Isa Khan’s Tomb, one of the main attractions of the World Heritage Site. A series of 17th-century Shah Jahani Tiles showcases intricate motifs and colours. In another Instagram-ready installation, life-size models of the mausoleum’s architectural elements tower against lapis blue backdrops. Next to these stands an 18ft finial that was originally atop Humayun’s tomb, and has been restored following its collapse in 2014. The towering structure resembles stacks of kalash, crafted from copper, coated in gold, and supported by a timber interior.
The museum is near the Sunder Nursery main gate. You need to buy a separate ticket for the museum. Plenty of options to reach here by bus, car or auto. Not a very convenient location to reach by Metro
