About the project
A prestigious project proposed in the vicinity of the Taj mahal, the Agra Museum in Agra is expected to develop into a tourist destination of international repute offering a platform to educate people about the Mughal Empire through its architecture and art.The brief is to evolve an architectural envelope to accommodate a Mughal Museum on the chosen site. Archohm has conceived and evolved the Mughal Museum project through collaboration.The absence of both agenda & artefacts, and the restriction of allowable built-up area of under 20,000 Sqm necessitate a modest and forthright approach towards creating the museum's program and its architecture. Absence of historical artifacts is accepted as a starting point, and a vibrant public space is set as the ultimate goal. The Museum of Permanent Exhibits: located at the basement level and categorized into themes such as nature, institutions, timeline etc. The Interface: located on the ground floor and comprising of the galleries for exhibition.
