Sanskriti Museums

Sanskriti Museums is an art museum complex in Mehrauli featuring three distinct collections focused on different craft traditions. The site holds thousands of terracotta objects, traditional textiles, and everyday items gathered from various regions across the country.

The museum complex was established in 1990, building on a collection that began in 1984. The project developed from efforts to document and preserve traditional Indian craft techniques for future generations.

The museums display works that reflect regional craft traditions and the skills passed down through generations of Indian artisans. Visitors encounter everyday objects and handmade pieces that show how these practices remain connected to local communities.

The complex is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM with no admission charge for visitors. It sits along Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road and is easy to reach, though visitors should allow several hours to explore all three sections properly.

The grounds house a restoration laboratory that specializes in caring for ancient textiles and artifacts. The techniques used here allow fragile fabrics and historical pieces to be preserved while remaining accessible to visitors who tour the site.
