The Red Fort Archaeological Museum is located in Mumtaz Mahal des Lal Qila and has an interesting display of artifacts associated with the Mughal period. Popularly known as the Red Fort Museum or the Palace Museum, it consists of 6 galleries, each with a rich collection.

The Red Fort Museum features various artifacts, such as manuscripts, stone inscriptions, miniature paintings, royal orders, and various other items related to Akbar I and other Mughal emperors.

There is a separate gallery with a variety of jade items such as swords, daggers, celadon, porcelain, tiles, textiles, clothing, rugs, pillows, curtains, etc.

One of the most interesting areas of the museum is the Bahadur Shah Zafar Gallery. It shows not only items from the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah II, but also from his queen. Items such as rose water sprinklers, electric horns, toilets, an inkwell for a pencil holder, a picture of Bahadur Shah in Rangoon prison, etc. are exposed.

This museum also contains portraits of famous court poets such as Mirza Ghalib, Bahadur Shah’s letter to Queen Victoria, weapons used by Bahadur Shah and the Nawab of Pataudi, portraits of Bahadur Shah and an ivory painting of Zinat Mahal, etc.

Inside the Lal Qila complex, you will also see Hamman, which means the place for the royal bath. It consisted of three main bedrooms, each separated by a hallway. It was built with marble and decorated with colored stones. The steam room had hot and cold water.

If you walk to the west side of Hamman, you will see Moti-Masjid, also known as the Pearl Mosque. This mosque was not part of the original structure of the Red Fort, it was later built by Aurangzeb. This was used by Emperor Aurangzeb as a private mosque. This mosque consists of three copper-clad domes and copper-leaf doors. In the mosque there are slightly raised prayer rugs made of black marble. These are known as musalla.

To the north of Moti Masjid is Hayat-Bakhsh-Bagh, the garden that gives life. This garden, which was designed around the main building of the Red Fort in Delhi, is adorned with fountains, tunnels, reservoirs, landscapes and a rich collection of plants. There is also a small garden within Lal Qila known as Mehtab Bagh, the Moonshine garden. In the middle of Hayat-Bakhsh-Bagh there is a red stone pavilion called Zafar Mahal. It was built by Bahadur Shah II in 1842.
