Jaipur: Museum of Legacies
The Vibe:Rajasthani craft, in a restored bazaar building.
Opened in 2017 in a restored building on Kishanpole Bazaar, this museum gathers Rajasthani craft traditions - painting, sculpture, textile and puppetry - under one roof. It sits inside the working walled city.
Cool rooms open off a courtyard as bazaar noise fades behind the facade. Wood and stone sculpture stand against pale, well-lit walls.
