Hello Beautiful Local Guides,

During my exploration of another Historical Monument that plays an important role in Indian heritage I went to Red Fort. I came to understand how this magnificent fortress was built by Shahjahan around the city that was once called Shahjahanabad, the construction of which was completed in 1648. Since then it has been at the centre of many historical landmarks in the annals of history.

Red Fort Museum and Monument

While there are many significant structures inside the Red Fort, I would like to share a new addition to this site, which is also known as the Red Fort Experience Centre. The museum was initially a British Barrack which was restored as a part of heritage of Red Fort by Dalmia Bharat group in 2022 in the build-up area of 138600 Sq. ft. After the First war of independence in 1857 the Britishers destroyed many Mughal structures inside the Red Fort ad used these ruins to construct the Barracks all around the fort which are now part of various other museums.

Different sections of the museum on Ground floor:

  1. Afsana - The Red Fort story
  2. Afreen - 360° theatre
  3. Tasvir - Portrait in AR

Different sections of the museum on 1st Floor:

  1. Safar - Journey to the Red Fort 3rd century to 1648
  2. Zindagi - The fort and it’s people 1648-1700
  3. Tareekh - History at the Red Fort 1700-1947
  4. Hum Ek Hai - Red fort and a new India

The intricate details and architectural design of the Red Fort is perfectly envisioned inside the museum. I hope you will enjoy.

Thank you @Kumaarsantosh for sharing this picture. May I know where this was placed in the Red Fort? Is this " Dill Chalo " initiative related to the 1857 War of Independence?

It’s there in the museum, I think on second or third floor where there is a great storyline depicted about Veer Kunwar Singh also. And, this part of the museum had free entry. Just the Red Fort entry ticket was needed.

Yes.
