Sanskriti Museums are a set of three museums namely, Museum of ‘Everyday Art’, Museum of Indian Terracotta (tribal art) and Textile Museum. It is housed within Sanskriti Kendra complex, at Anandagram,[1] an artist village complex, spread over eight acres, situated 10 km south of New Delhi,[2][3] near Aya Nagar on Mehrauli–Gurgaon Road, on the outskirts of Delhi.[4] The nearest Delhi Metro station is Arjan Garh,[1] on the Yellow Line.
The museum was founded by O. P. Jain[5] in 1990, under the aegis of the Sanskriti Foundation, a New Delhi–based non-profit organisation established in 1978.
