Lonely Planet review

Near Pragati Maidan is this delightful tree-shaded Crafts Museum with an exhibit-packed museum and craft stalls where artisans sell direct to buyers. It's part of a contrived, yet enjoyable, 'village life' complex and is certainly a soothing escape from the city madness.

Peruse the well-presented galleries which house over 20,000 exhibits from around India, including metalware, woodwork, old silver jewellery, tribal masks, paintings and terracotta figurines. There's also a huge 18th-century wooden jharokha (elaborate balcony) from Gujarat. The on-site shop sells quality crafts. Photography is only allowed with prior permission.
