All traditional Gujarati cloths and ancient dresses as well as the fabric works and the work of art which is done only by a fixed family like Patan Ka Patola, Mata Ni Pachedi, as well as the tradition of regular clothing styles of common and kings are seen hear. Traditionally how the clothes are used in regular days and all are seen. Carpets, wall clothes, hand fans, and many more are seen over here. Some disappeared art work are seen like carving, wooden Home, way of living styles, instruments of doing the art. Blok's are also seen over here by which we can see how block printing is done and what are the effect on fabric. I think I had a great opportunity to have visited over hear. And i must say that Amdavadi people please visit the museum. Please do registration before the visiting the museum.

Amazing educative place. My five year loved it, and learn so much. Three cheers for such a place in the heart of the city!

Best place to explore science. Unique of its kind. Must visit

Nice place for children to know about science and fulfill their curiosity. The place is neat and clean. Everything is well-managed & the assistants of the place are very kind and humble. Garden near the museum is beautiful and specially the globe like structure.

Nice place after new sections added - awareness against single use plastic, soil catogories, illusions etc Must visit for school going kids

If you only have time to cover one attraction in Ahmedabad, this museum should be it (over and above Gandhi's Ashram). It is a private museum and no fee is charged for a comprehensive guided tour by a knowledgeable in-house guide and a very close-up viewing of a magnificent collection (not just religious textiles and costumes, but also other artworks). Totally worth the time. Be sure to book ahead as there is a tour quota each day.

Great place for children between age of 8-15 for learning the scientific phenomena without actually having to go through high school.

Awesome b'day party idea fr kids. Totally unique n conceptual n experimental based!!! Loved d unique concept. Instead of spending money every time on game Jockey n magicians , this was hands on experience fr kids during my son's b'day party.

Visited space exploration got reply very few events are here for space exploration if it’s for space lovers proper action should be taken for creating awareness

Amazing place!! Great initiative to nurture young minds.My son had a wonderful time..must visit place !!

Nice museum

Calico Museum is owned by Sarabhai Family. So basically your experience of it will be like visiting a royal home cum museum with lots of do's & don't at the museum. You need to register 1 day prior your visit through email. Once you arrive the museum you'll be body searched throughly & all your belongings will be taken away including mobile & camera at the entrance. The guide was a lady in her late 50's, she is very strict & have an unpleasant personality. Due to her the whole tour becomes boring and sour.

It was very good experience. The mentor was very knowledgeable and explained everything enthusiastically and elaborately.

A must visit. The best private museum I have ever been to, showcasing Indian handloom craft, fabric, weaves, embroidery. Actually in a way we should be thankful to them for preserving it for humanity. The experience is beyond words.

one of the wonderful places where you can find historical wooden as well as iron items the scriptures provided here are very nice it is really nice to visit here we buy a lots of things from this place.this is owned by a sarabhai family it's your old heritage museum come house there are lots of old textile which work and all other stuff it was really impressed Sara Bhai and his family is very polite they give warm welcome to US and provide us all the information about its old textile which they have and collect it from past many years.x you want to go there to experience a lots about old things but please first we get it developed but first get its whole idea from Google map and than go.

Great museum but you HAVE to book. !!!!! There is soo much in this museum but you will NOT get a chance to browse! ( Tour is about 3 hours ) You will be led from one room to another by a guide - who may be the curator as she is so knowledgeable and no one ever found out her name. Nearly all the 'textiles' are covered up with plastic and quite a lot of low lighting. No time to really read the descriptions and an army of people behind you turning off the lights and making sure you stay together. We didn't really know if the textiles had any value or not or if they were 'one-offs' or part of collection. Could any of the works displayed be bought now???? A lot of history is covered and vast majority of India is explored in textiles. The 'technical room' is even more interesting. (how material is weaved/ stitched or made) Again, a lot o see and you will be allowed to look at the displays but remember NO CAMERAS OR VIDEO ALLOWED AT ALL! So hope you have a good memory or good at making notes. I offered to make a donation but its a private collection none was accepted. The museum shop is basically a book shop of different styles of textiles - so nothing like textiles to buy or even silk prints or anything to buy - which is a shame as real crafts people in villages who are skilled at making this could get proceeds back to their collectives. Worth seeing if you like textiles and arts and crafts and have a spare morning free. Make sure you book! only 20 odd places per day.

There's no information to visit this museum, they are following some procedures to visit. I went here to see, but security guard told you need to call and inform office number before one week. Once it's confirmed, you can go and visit. Timing is from morning 10am to 1pm

The museum was founded in 1949 by the industrialist Gautam Sarabhai and his sister Gira Sarabhai. Ahmedabad at that time had a flourishing textile industry. The museum was originally housed at the Calico Mills in the heart of the textile industry. But as the collection grew the museum was shifted to the Sarabhai House in Shahibaug in 1983.

Had one of the most Amazing experiences today at the Calico museum. Was absolutely impressed with the exhibits of art, textiles and embroidery. This is by far the best museum I have seen. A special mention to Kamalini for her passion for the ancient craftsmanship and her presentation skills. Loved the entire experience.

The best!! The collection is awesome and the guide is an expert on textiles. She explains well but the problem is that we didn't have a lot of time to look at the beauty. The site is also very good. Super!!!

Established in 1949, the Calico Textile Museum located at the Retreat on Airport Road is the oldest textile museum in Ahmedabad. Started by the renowned industrial personality, Gautam Sarabhai and his sister Gita Sarabhai, this museum was opened by the former Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The museum has been preserving various weaving material, an array of designer and colourful fabric from different parts of the country. Although initiated at the Calico House, the Calico Textile Museum was further moved into a part of the Sarabhai House called "The Retreat" in 1983. The museum is currently managed and maintained by the Sarabhai Foundation; an NGO organised by the Sarabhai family. Besides textiles, the museum also showcases South Indian bronze art, temple hangings, furniture, miniature artworks and Jain artefacts. The Calico Textile Museum also has gallery sections and a library as well.

Very very Excellent service 💼 Vinayak enterprise are nikol office and manufacturing by flour mill vinayak enterprise sales and service.

Khoj museum KHOJ is one of the first dynamic children’s museum in India focussing on connecting science, art and innovation by means of participatory displays, inquiry-based activities and inquisitiveness-based explorations. Unlike a regular museum having play cards of “Please Do Not Touch”, at KHOJ visitors are encouraged to interact, participate, play and explore different exhibits and concepts. Thank you

A excellent place for kids.

One of the best place to know about science, history and discovery. Very good place for students to learn science with fun. Students perform every activity on their own. Place us very neat and clean. The mentor was very knowledgeable and explained everything. It was very nice experience.

The project Khoj Museum, has been initiated by Manthan Educational Programme Society, India in association with ZOOM Kinder Museum, Vienna, Austria. The museum has been evolved keeping in mind the philosophy and approach of both the organisations. multiple hands-on activities spread over 4floors. For us to give you the best experience, we ensure limited entry at a particular time so you can get enough time to enjoy all of the museum’s activities curated by our volunteers. For those who want a quick visit, we have open hours from 4-6 pm daily and on Sundays. Manthan Educational Programme Society, India is a not for profit organization. It is one of the oldest and niche organizations working in the field of science education in India. Since its inception, Manthan has done innovative projects at the interface of design, entrepreneurship and science. On one side of it, we have developed hundreds of kits on various subjects like eclipses, climate change and gender to be used by children in rural areas across India. On the other side, Manthan has conducted various awareness programs regarding health, diseased, medicine, sanitation and hygiene in tribal areas across India. Since 1990’s, Manthan has achieved an expertise in initiating a repertoire of activities across India like science awareness programs, science teachers’ training, designing and distribution of hands-on science outreach and offshoot materials, designing and conducting science exhibitions and brining a new dimension to science education. Through its profound experience in training and development, recently, Manthan has also covered major rural and tribal communities in Gujarat under its umbrella for entrepreneurship development with the help of Science and Technology intervention. Manthan has established a Community Science Centre at Narmada District of Gujarat State with the support of State Government.

Must visit.

Must Visit place in Ahmedabad

This place is one of the most wonderful spots in all of India. Everything from the building, grounds and the content has been carefully considered. The only negative is that you are not permitted to take pictures. We where told that we could purchase books about the museum at the end of the tour but none of the books they have in the store truly take the buildings and grounds into consideration.

This is worst place ever , the staff , security and booking center is so rude. I didnt book in advance because I didnt know. They told me I cant go inside because the tour is full they gave me a number. Bug the lady that I talked so rude , she doesnt know how to talk. She told me the only avaliability is 3 days later but Im gonna be here. Not helpfull at all. She told max is 20 people but I saw the list at that morning and it was 24 people. So unorganized place everywhere like in India. Im so sorry but this indian people they dont know how to organise the things and dont know how to talk polite
