Tucked inside the 16th-century Purana Qila (Old Fort), this small but excellent museum displays archaeological finds from excavations on the site, which has been continuously inhabited for over 2,500 years — including evidence of the Mahabharata-era city of Indraprastha. The exhibits are compact and well-labeled, and the surrounding fort grounds are beautiful for a walk. The museum is often overlooked by visitors who come only for the fort, making it a rewarding quiet discovery. Combine with the evening Sound and Light Show.
