This museum is often called a “living museum” because it doesn’t just display artifacts — it brings India’s craft traditions to life. Established in 1956, it houses over 20,000 objects across galleries dedicated to textiles, folk and tribal art, ritual crafts, and courtly crafts. The Village Complex recreates rural India with huts, courtyards, and artisans at work, making it feel immersive and atmospheric. Visitors can watch live demonstrations of weaving, pottery, and painting, turning the museum into a vibrant cultural experience rather than a static exhibition. Families find it engaging, as children can interact with artisans and explore colorful displays, while adults appreciate the depth of India’s craft heritage.
