Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing

Eastern Rajasthan


This interesting museum in a restored haveli (traditional, ornately decorated residence) documents the art of hand-block printing, from old traditions to contemporary design. You can watch masters carve unbelievably intricate wooden printing blocks and even have a go at printing your own scarf or T-shirt. There’s a cafe and gift shop, too.
