India's first sunken museum at the heritage Humayun's Tomb site in Delhi is all set for its inauguration next week. The museum marries modern 21st-century architecture with Mughal-era craftsmanship.

The museum, whose layout is inspired by the medieval 'baolis' or traditional water tanks, is slated to be inaugurated by Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on July 29, coinciding with the ongoing meeting of the World Heritage Committee (WHC) in the national capital, an official source told PTI.
