The Red Fort Archaeological Museum is currently located in the Mumtaz Mahal of the Red Fort in Delhi, northern India. The museum contains paintings, artifacts, calligraphy, fabrics and other objects dating from the Mughal era. Originally known as the Palace Museum, this museum dates back to 1911 when it was located in the Naubhat Khana. It was later moved to the Mumtaz Mahal, originally used as a mess by the British occupiers. The museum is now under the aegis of the Archaeological Survey of India Most of the Mughal belongings and jewels of the Red Fort were looted and stolen during Nadir Shah's invasion of India in 1747 and again after the failed Indian Rebellion of 1857against the British colonialists. They were eventually sold to private collectors or the British Museum, British Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum. For example, the Koh-i-Noor diamond, the jade wine cup of Shah Jahan and the crown of Bahadur Shah IIare all currently located in London. Various requests for restitution have been rejected by the British government. The museum, therefore, is only able to show a very small fraction of Mughal property and heritage

Love this place seriously The arms used in the Indian Rebellion of 1857by the then Nawab of Pataudi, arms used by Bahadur Shah and field glass used by Brigadier-General John Nicholson during the siege of Delhi are part of the collection. Portraits of the last Mughal rulers and contemporary personalities like court poet Mirza Ghalib, maps and lithographs depicting scenes of Delhi and Bahadur Shah's letter to Queen Victoria with the thumb impression of his son Mirza Jawan Bakht are some of the other pieces on display. This is such an nice and intresting place

The Naubat Khana also called as Naqqar Khana is a gateway, at the centre of the Red fort, & has a large Mughal arch. It was the drum house, where drummers announced the arrival of dignitaries to the Mughal court It is a 3 storey red sandstone building with 6 chambers on either side for guards & the stone walls has carved designs Two of the later Mughal kings, Jahandar Shah (1712-13) & Farrukhsiyar (1713-19) were murdered here. The upper storey houses a Indian War Memorial Museum The ground floor now houses ASI office

It was a great experience visiting the Archaeological Museum in Delhi is a must see for people of all ages, especially kids. Traces its history from 1911 when it was situated in Naubat Khana, Archaeological Museum, however, later shifted to Mumtaz Mahal in Red Fort. Initially, the museum was set up with an aim to showcase the Mughal culture through their exquisite pieces of art, however, with time it also exhibited other annals of Indian history

There are about 5-6 museums in the Red Fort area. The tickets are available along with the tickets for the Red Fort. A must visit for all history lovers and youth. It portrays history of India from 1857 along with Museums dedicated to great leaders like Subash Chandra Bose etc. Do carry your own food or water, there is no canteen inside.
