Warrior Empire: The Mughals is a sweeping, poignant portrait of India’s most colourful, violent and majestic era.
From 1526 to 1858, this dynasty of nomadic warriors indulged their appetite for territorial expansion, extending their rule across the entire Indian subcontinent.
Despite the brutality with which they conquered their kingdom, the Mughals were brilliant technological innovators and masters of art and architecture.
The show features rich, detailed images of Mughal achievements such as the magnificent Taj Mahal, palaces, forts, water systems, exquisite gardens and ornate works of art.
A step-by-step scientific recreation of advanced Mughal metallurgy and weaponry reveals elaborate chain mail for a troop of elephants, deadly and nimble compound bows, rockets and sword-forging techniques passed down through the generations and still alive today.
Join us as we tell the riveting story of the resourceful warfare, bountiful material resources, architectural marvels, and cultural flourishes that shaped modern India.
