    The museum is located on the first and second floor of the drum house. It contains several galleries pertaining to the military history of India during the first and second world war. Items that are on display is a diorama of the Battle of Panipat (1526), in which Babur defeated the forces of Ibrahim Lodi and established the Mughal Empire. Further objects on display are traditional weapons such as daggers and gupti, as well as arms and helmets. The advent of the industrialisation brought in new weapons such as machine guns and grenades. Various badges, ribbons, and uniforms of Turkish and New Zealand army officers, and flags are also on display. The dress of Maharaja Pratap Singh of Idar, a renowned soldier and military man, is displayed, which includes the kurta (long shirt), belt, trouser, turban with zari work, shoes and inscribed sword with sheath.

    Red Fort or the Lal Qila houses the museum of Arms & Weapons. This enormous museum has a fine collection of Mughal weapons, medals, paintings, and dresses used in different wars such as the First World War. It has galleries showing us the weapons used during the war and also projects some of the war scenes, such as of the battle of Panipat. The Arms and Weapons Showcased in the Galleries include: arrows, swords, khukris, revolvers, machine guns, shells, daggers, small weapons, battle axes, chest armours etc. The last two galleries show the impact of European industrialization over the weapons, and communication since radars, telephone, telegraph, signal lamps, guns with periscope, trench periscope etc were introduced. While the Red Fort is all red stoned, the museum of arms and weapons is all white, containing all these ‘black’ weapons. One can visit the museum between 10am and 5pm. The museum remains closed on Fridays.

    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. The Red Fort Archaeology Museum is currently housed in the Mumtaz Mahal History Edit Originally known as the Palace Museum, this museum dates back to 1911[1] when it was located in the Naubhat Khana. It was later moved to the Mumtaz Mahal,[2] 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 1857 against 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 II are all currently located in London. Various requests for restitution have been rejected by the British government.[3] The museum, therefore, is only able to show a very small fraction of Mughal property and heritage.

    Not well maintained, very few people visit although they are allowed to go without any extra charge. When I visited, in the whole museum area only 2-3 visitors were there. At the end you can say it, a good place to visit for those who have genuine interest in history

    This Indian War Memorial Museum was set up as a tribute to the soldiers who had participated in the World Wars in India and abroad on behalf of the British. Naubat Khana or Naqqar Khana (musical house) of the Red Fort was chosen to accommodate the museum in its first and second floors. The museum is approachable from the north and south of the building facing east. The introductory gallery comprises a diorama showing the battle of Panipat with the army of Babur and Ibrahim Lodi standing opposite each other.

  • 5/5 Joy B. 5 years ago on Google
    Its a very nice, world class museum about the indian inependence movement. Its a collection of four museums in different buildings inside the red fort, each on a different theme, 1857 mutiny war of independence, jallaianwala bagh massacre by the British, bhagat singh and Indian National Army, and one on freedom fighters. You have to purchase the museum ticket along with the red fort entry ticket. But its a very good and much needed collection. There are special sections on Indian contribution and sacrifices in WW1 and WW2 as part of the British arm, GADAR revolutionaries, etc. A must see if you are in Delhi.
