Collection StoriesThe Afterlife of the Taj Gardens: Changes in the Landscape$1.00Often described as ‘Poetry in Stone’, the Taj Mahal was laid out between 1631-43 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal.

The visitors today are so transfixed by the Taj itself that they remember very little of the garden. DAG Archive attempts to illustrate the life and ‘afterlife’ of the Taj gardens, once its control was taken over by the British. This archive deep dive showcases the objects from A. E. P. Griessen’s (1875–1935) collection.
