The museum's layout is inspired by the medieval 'baolis', or traditional water tanks. It showcases the legacy of Mughal emperor Humayun, including lesser-known facets of his life, and the heritage of the Nizamuddin area over the last seven centuries.
The construction of the country's first sunken museum began in April 2015. The project was earlier planned to be inaugurated in 2017.
The first principal gallery of the museum, 'Where the Emperor Rests', highlights the architectural splendour of Humayun's mausoleum, and the personality of the emperor is depicted through exhibits telling stories of his travels, marriage, administration of his kingdom, his deep interest in reading, astrology and the arts, and his patronage of architecture and gardens.

This magnificent ensemble of pavilions, gardens, stepwells, and mausolea within viewing distance of the Golconda Fort is, first of all, a testament to the skill, talent, and ingenuity of the people of this city and their forebears.

www.siasat.comHyderabad: With the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) managing to pull-off a spectacular job in terms of restoring the historic Qutb Shahi tombs, the question that begs to be answered if the Telangana government will also give a go-ahead to the AKTC to manage the site.
