The interpretation centre was supposed to come up in a British era building opposite the 13th century monument. The building functioned as a guesthouse for Lord Curzon and had been under the Delhi government for years, till Archaeological Survey of India requested for its transfer. The process took much longer than anticipated, and it was handed over to ASI in 2010, just after the Commonwealth Games.
"The interpretation centre is a requirement according to world heritage guidelines. Renovations have been completed to make the building ready for tourists," said an official.
The interiors of the museum were done by Intach Delhi Chapter, but sources report that the project has been put on hold for now. "The funding from the tourism ministry has not come through. A consultant has been brought in and the project is being re-looked at," said a source.
Officials from the nodal agency Delhi Tourism said the ministry had decided not to go ahead with the site museum project. "The ministry is making changes and new consultants may come out with a modified plan soon," said a source. Other museum projects like Purana Qila interpretation centre and MCD of Delhi Town Hall have also been shelved, added officials.
Currently, no world heritage site in Delhi has a site museum or an interpretation centre. A museum is planned at Humayun's Tomb by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and it will come up in the next few years. Red Fort has two museums inside the complex but no site museum.
