The Vibe:A restored haveli, and cloth printed by hand.
Housed in a restored haveli in Amer, this museum documents hand block printing as a living craft rather than a heritage curiosity. It was set up by the textile company whose name it carries.
Carved wooden blocks strike cloth in steady rhythm at the demonstration table. Cool stone rooms hold printed textiles hung against pale walls.
