Red Fort Archaeological Museum, Archaeological museum in Red Fort complex, Delhi, India
The Archaeological Museum occupies the Mumtaz Mahal building within the Red Fort, displaying artifacts from medieval Indian periods across three distinct galleries.
The museum traces its origins to 1911 when it started in the Naubhat Khana before relocating to Mumtaz Mahal, which British troops previously used.
The museum exhibits Mughal-era paintings, calligraphy, royal attire, weapons, astronomical instruments, and personal items of Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar.
The museum operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entrance included in the Red Fort admission fee of 35 rupees for Indians and 500 rupees for foreigners.
Many original Mughal treasures, including the Koh-i-Noor diamond and Shah Jahan's jade wine cup, now reside in British museums following historical invasions.
