Overview

This mini museum is located inside the Red Fort and is primarily dedicated to the last Mughal king of India, Bahadur Shah Zafar. Amongst the many items, what catches the eye are the silk robes embedded with pearls and his hookah (smoking pipe) made entirely with silver. Other priceless objects include beautiful 19th century textiles and decorative blue tiles from the 13th century. There are other rare items from the collections of previous kings, such as Babar as well. This place also has small, quaint gift shop.
