The museum contains paintings, artifacts, calligraphy, fabrics and other objects dating from the Mughal era.
It was later moved to the Mumtaz Mahal,[2] originally used as a mess by British troops.
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.
[3] The museum, therefore, is only able to show a very small fraction of Mughal property and heritage.
