In October 2024, the museum auditorium was completed and began to host public events. Supported by the Saluja Family Trust, this underground auditorium, with a capacity of 100-seats, is an intimate space for musical recitals, storytelling shows, dastangois, public talks, illustrated lectures, seminars and discussions. It will provide a platform for exchange of ideas and the arts, where people have the opportunity to learn and share knowledge.
The auditorium is built to create a state-of-the arts venue for intellectual and cultural activities and will host events organised by AKTC as well as other organisations to engage and inform varied audiences. Centrally-located in New Delhi, this 100-seater Auditorium hosts educational & cultural events and is well connected to public transport and has been provided adequate car-parking.
The new shop enriches the museum experience for visitors, showcasing India’s timeless craft traditions through unique souvenirs — from stone carving and pietra dura to glazed tile making, wood carving, and mother-of-pearl inlay.
A new way to take a piece of heritage home with you!
Presented by KNMA in collaboration with the National Museum of Australia and Humayun’s Tomb Museum, the exhibition offers a rare and deeply resonant encounter with the knowledge systems and enduring connections to land held by Australia's First Peoples.
Through large-scale installations, atmospheric projections, soundscapes, and digital storytelling, ‘Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters’ invites you to walk alongside the Sisters as they travel across land and sky – a journey carried through song, memory, and community.
Songlines offers a rare opportunity to experience an ancient story of Australia’s indigenous communities that continues to live, travel, and evolve.
