Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum, Art museum in Navrangpura, Ahmedabad, India.
The Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum is an art museum in Ahmedabad that displays Indian sculptures, bronzes, manuscripts, paintings, woodwork, and coins across two main galleries. The collection encompasses a diverse selection of artworks and historical objects that demonstrate various artistic techniques and materials.
The museum was founded in 1984 by industrialist Kasturbhai Lalbhai and scholar Muni Puniyavijayiji to protect their growing collection of manuscripts and artworks. The founding arose from a desire to preserve these valuable cultural treasures for future generations.
The museum houses a significant collection of handwritten Jain manuscripts and displays paintings from Gujarat with illustrated works spanning different periods. These pieces reflect the artistic and religious traditions of the region and are carefully preserved here.
The museum is located on the campus of the L.D. Institute of Indology near Gujarat University and is open Tuesday through Sunday. The opening hours allow visitors to explore the collections at their own pace.
The museum operates a conservation laboratory that specializes in restoring miniature paintings and performing preliminary cleaning of stone and metal artifacts. This specialized work allows delicate historical objects to be preserved for display.
