The Vibe:Wax icons, inside an eighteenth-century fort.
A privately run wax museum housed within Nahargarh Fort, pairing silicone figures of Indian and international icons with a purpose-built mirrored hall. It is a modern attraction inside a heritage shell.
Air-conditioned galleries come as a sharp contrast to the fort ramparts outside. The mirrored hall multiplies every light source into a dense glitter.
