Crafts Museum, New Delhi

This museum near the Old Fort celebrates the traditional handicrafts and folk arts of India through a large collection of textiles, terracotta, woodwork, metalcraft and tribal objects. Its grounds recreate a village setting with reconstructed rural dwellings and a courtyard where visiting artisans demonstrate weaving, painting and pottery. Designed by a noted architect to evoke a living craft community, the complex blends indoor galleries with open-air displays. A shop lets visitors buy directly from craftspeople.
