    Housed in a nearly 200-year old building in the historic Kishanpole Bazaar of Jaipur's Pink City area, Museum of Legacies opened on 9 December, 2017. The aim is to create an artspace that exclusively displays the rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan, with a diverse collection that includes everything from textiles, jewellery, stoneware and inlay work, painting, pottery and more. Apart from this, indigenous art from different parts of India are also given a platform here. This is a very inclusive space that caters to locals and tourists alike. Museum of Legacies currently has with eight active galleries. Each has been allotted to an individual who has been instrumental in the art and culture scene of India. Brij Bhasin’s collection of Everyday Embroideries shows the stunning array of textiles that are found across the state of Rajasthan. Mitch Crites displays semi-precious stone and marble works that have been created in his oeuvre and paintings that have been lovingly collected by him and his wife, Nilou, during their stay in India.

    Finally a really refreshing place.... I visited by accident, I was just contemplating the sun light on its facades from the outside, thinking what a beautiful building, later on I discovered it was a museum and stopped for a while to visit. Of all the Museums I visited during my stay in Rajahstan this place was very beautiful and rich! No entry charge. Photos allowed.

    An alternative museum in a building that dates back to 1825, this is an initiative by the Government of Rajasthan to provide a platform to showcase previously unseen private collections. One can view everything from textiles and jewellery to paintings and sculptures here. Entry gate is awesome. No cost for entry in museum premises.

    Now a museum called Museum of Legacies is housed in this building. Just prior to it, until a few years ago, two State time colleges-Rajasthan Sangeet Sansthan and Rajasthan School of Arts, were operating from here which have been shifted to Shiksha sankul. The Rajasthan School of Arts was established as Madarsa-e-Hunari by Maharaja Sawai RamSingh II in 1857. Later, in 1986, it was renamed as Maharaja's School of Arts and Crafts.

    We were lucky to be advised to go inside by a government worker who told us about the history of the building and future plans for a restaurant. It's an oasis of calm and beauty away from the madness and dirt! Top class examples of local art, jewellery, textiles and ceramics. Downside was that the employee tried to secure a tip afterwards, tsk!

  • 1/5 Barun G. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely a waste of time. Though it's free to enter, the moment I did I was told that I can't take any photos. On asking them why photos of have been taken and uploaded before my visit they told me that the policy now had changed. There were only three rooms with some interesting works like wooden carvings and calligraphy but the sections on the first floor are all closed. Barely spent 5 minutes as a result.

    Amazing artwork and sculptures. Museum started in 2017, and every art, wooden sculpture and stone sculpture is a beauty in itself. They told us they will be adding more to the collection, but a place worth visiting. Would totally recomend to check it out.

    (Translated by Google) Madrasa-e-Hunari was started by Maharaja Sawai Ramsingh II in the year 1857 to promote art in Kishanpol Bazaar. It was later renamed in 1886 to the Maharaja School of Arts and Croft. Now that the museum is offs were Legsij. This building of the Museum of Legacies was the residence of Pandit Shivdin. He was his minister during Sawai Raja Ram Singh II's tenure (1825-1830). (Original) महाराजा सवाई रामसिंह द्वितीय ने वर्ष 1857 में किशनपोल बाजार में कला को बढ़ावा देने के लिए मदरसा-ए-हुनरी की शुरुआत की थी। इसके बाद 1886 में इसका नाम बदलकर महाराजा स्कूल ऑफ आटर्स एंड क्रॉफ्ट कर दिया गया। अब यही म्यूजियम आॅफ लेगसीज है। म्यूजियम ऑफ लेगसीज का यह भवन पंडित शिवदीन का निवास स्थान था। वे सवाई राजा राम सिंह द्वितीय के कार्यकाल (1825-1830) के दौरान उनके मंत्री रहे थे।

    Museum of Legacies is a new addition to the list of museums in Jaipur. It is housed in a Haveli of an important minister in the court of Jaipur –Pandit Shiv Deen. He donated his residence to be converted into an art school in 1857 AD. It has been in use as an art school ever since Museum of Legacies is situated in Kishanpol Bazaar, one of the prominent bazaars of the walled city area in Jaipur Here are my views on the Museum Of legacies. The word Museum of Legacies is quite vague and not cohesive. It doesn’t conjure up any images. Two, the collection on display is neither convincing nor complete as it comprises of random pieces. Display pieces have been sourced from a few individuals and commercial enterprises. Therefore the collection has its limitations. Three, since these collections have been sourced from firms and individuals, they have been allowed to advertise their names discreetly. Four, Kishanpole Bazar is off the tourist map. With nothing else to explore around, it is unlikely that many tourists will visit the Museum Of Legacies. This new museum in Jaipur doesn’t do justice to the building considering its legacy and how it has been associated with art and craft for centuries. If you are visiting Jaipur and love art and architecture, do explore and let me know your thoughts on Museum Of Legacies. I will recommend a visit to this beautiful Haveli for all its beauty and heritage. Full & detailed review can be found on jaipurthrumylens blog.

    Delightful new little museum in Jaipur, opened in November 2017. It's in a cool airy building that used to be an art school. The museum highlights modern traditional arts including fabrics, embroidery, stone carving and painting. Based around several private collections. The museum was showing works of art in traditional styles commissioned from famous modern indian artists. It also has a clean new sit down toilet. We were shown around by a nice and attentive guy in a uniform. The museum is free to enter.
