# Sanskriti Museum with 2,000 artefacts reopens at Humayun’s Tomb 2026-08-08T09:55:55+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Sanskriti Museum of Indian Textiles & Everyday Art reopened on August 1 at the Humayun's Tomb World Heritage Site Museum. The relocated museum displays over 2,000 everyday artefacts and 500 textiles, including Patola, Bandhini and Pashmina, collected over four decades by founder OP Jain and gifted to the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts in 2023. The curation follows a person's lifecycle, from childhood toys to kitchen tools. A rolling pin with a ghunghroo and an intricately carved rolling board exemplify the artistry. The move from Sanskriti Kendra aimed to preserve the museum's identity while shifting to a more tourist-friendly location, says Aakash Singh of IGNCA's conservation division. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: everyday art, Humayun's Tomb, IGNCA, Indian textiles, OP Jain, Sanskriti Museum Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sanskriti-museum-with-2000-artefacts-reopens-at-humayuns-tomb/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
