Sanskriti museums, a place of everyday art developed for the preservation and presentation of indigenous heritage, craftsmanship, aesthetic functionality and cultural practices.

​

Tradition and modernity are not two separate categories - one transmutes into another. The preservation of cultural heritage, therefore, has its own validity. The museums at Sanskriti are a base for such preservation as great attention has been given to the socio-cultural context of the objects. 

​

The place has three museums inside:

• Museum of Everyday Art: Create an environment for the preservation of India’s heritage, and to showcase objects that demonstrate excellence in craftsmanship and conceptual innovation, be it in design or functionality

• Museum of Indian Textiles: Shows rich culture of textiles ranging from silks, weaves, embroideries, stitches in different styles and prints.

•  Museum of Indian Terracotta: Terracotta, a functional art, is the first creative expression of civilization. From the common earthen pot to the giant-sized cultic equestrian figures of the rural Tamil deities, terracotta art occupies a central position in Indian life and culture
