This was absolutely wonderful and exactly what we needed! So beautiful, calm and serene! A very interesting exposition and explanations, 2 demonstrations of old techniques and the beautifully restored gorgeous haveli (old mansion) in which the museum is housed as well as the cool and calm made our afternoon! There also is a lovely cafe that outside and a museum shop. Nice staff, too.

For me this place is important to understand the history of fine examples of jaipuri prints. Much higher quality that inspired the bohemian fashion back in the days are presented in here. Anokhi has already expensive but high quality products even back in delhi, so here expect the finest of all. However pricey though.

Jaipur, the Pink City, is a beautiful blend of royal history, culture, and vibrant local life. Majestic forts and palaces like Amber Fort, City Palace, and Hawa Mahal reflect its grand heritage, while bustling bazaars add color and charm. A special highlight is the Anokhi Museum, which offers a fascinating insight into traditional block printing, followed by a relaxed meal at the Anokhi Café with its calm ambience and delicious food. Jaipur’s warmth, culture, and experiences make it a memorable destination for families and travelers alike. 🌸🏰☕

(Feb 2026 visit) Very interesting museum, a beautifully restored building with lots of information on textile printing and beautiful examples of clothing and fabrics. Well worth going if you're in the area for the fort anyway and are interested in printing, textiles or the history and culture behind traditional clothes. When we visited it was very quiet with only a few other visitors. We spent about an hour, it would be shorter if not reading all the signs, or a bit longer if they have more demonstrations on. Make sure to wander around the whole museum and down all the corridors to make sure you don't miss anything, especially any demonstrations (we saw a fabric printing demonstration, the block printer was out to lunch when we visited, and if not sure if there are sometimes more). The person at the entrance didn't tell us where to go, but once inside someone pointed us in the right direction as there is an order / flow to the exhibits. I do think there could be more clear information about the demonstrations, as from the reviews it looks like different people have more in-depth experiences than others, and some people officially paid and others didn't. I felt like we just accidentally found one of the demonstrations and it wasn't clear what to expect. There were signs not to tip the craftsmen doing the demonstrations, however, they will likely encourage you to tip them anyway! I admit we did tip and got a little souvenir to take away which I helped print. It was a bit awkward because I would feel bad watching them do a whole demonstration and not tipping them when they were encouraging it. I assume the rule is because the museum want visitors actually buying things in the gift shop, but it puts the visitors in an awkward position, like you're doing something wrong. Why not just set an official small price for the demonstrations including a souvenir to avoid confusion. There are some beautiful things in the gift shop at different price points, we got some bookmarks for a very low price, and some handkerchiefs (they take credit card). There was a small casual cafe out front which looked nice, we didn't have time to try it as our driver was hassling us to return to the fort to be picked up! To get there we walked from the fort. We exited the fort through the parking lot to the northeast, which was a bit risky with the traffic passing close to you, and then along Sagar Road which was a nice walk to see the village and buildings. It was about a 20 minute walk, and we felt safe walking that route, we were not bothered by anyone. Definitely go to the stepwell on the way to or from the museum, it's beautiful and is on the walking route.

Thoughtfully curated and in a stunning 400 year old haveli that has been carefully restored. My daughter loves the print-your-own experience. She blockprinted a handkerchief. To print your own gift, head to their giftshop on the ground floor before heading up to the second floor to print. The small cost of the article you buy (our handkerchief was only ₹200) includes the DIY block printing fee. What a gem! I highly recommend a visit to this thoughtful place.
