We were attended by Mr Rohit on our visit to this art haven. Rohit was kind enough to show us around the entire gallery comprising of 6 floors, housing different styles and subjects of paintings. I'll stress here by saying that this is by far the most comprehensive art gallery I have ever been to. They have a massive-massive collection of paintings of all kinds like traditional Indian, Spiritual, Modern, vintage, watercolour, acrylic, sketches etc. You name it, they have it. They have paintings and prints within all budgets. I, personally loved the luxe section which displayed one of a kind paintings and also the Pichwai section is the most intriguing one as it housed a colossal collection of Pichwais. This is a must-visit place if you are an ardent art lover, and in case you aren't, you definitely will leave the gallery turning into one !!! Apart from holding masterpieces, which one would love to acquire for their homes, they also house a wide variety of paintings and prints that can be gifted too...Be rest assured about their authenticity, quality and services. Glad that the owner was keen and enthusiastically answering all our questions and educating us about various art forms all throughout our time there. A must-visit for those who wish to acquire something that would last them a lifetime and beyond.

This museum is located close to Amer Fort and is excellent value for money (clean toilets too!). We looked at the exhibitions and then had a live demonstration of how to make a wooden block pattern to use as a print. We continued to another live demonstration of how to block print on fabric. We were able to have a go and were allowed to take our sampler piece away as a souvenir. A very quiet museum which is well worth a visit.
