## About

The National Crafts Museum and Hastkala Academy celebrates the rich and living craft traditions of India. Set in a large campus at the corner of Pragati Maidan opposite the majestic Purana Qila, the museum was designed by the renowned architect Charles Correa. It holds one of the largest collections of Indian handicrafts and handlooms, with galleries of folk and tribal art, cultic and courtly crafts and textiles, alongside an open air Village Complex of traditional huts, an Aiyanaar shrine, a carved haveli and an 18th century wooden chariot. Live craft demonstrations by visiting artisans, the celebrated Lota Shop and Cafe Lota complete a full day of cultural discovery in the heart of New Delhi.
