The Calico Museum of Textiles
The Calico Museum of Textiles, located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is one of India's most prestigious textile museums, showcasing an extensive collection of antique and modern Indian textiles. Established in 1949 by Gautam Sarabhai and Gira Sarabhai, the museum was inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and has since become a treasure trove of India's rich textile heritage.
The museum houses handmade textiles up to 500 years old, including Kashmiri shawls, double-ikat fabrics, and embroidered garments that highlight India's craftsmanship. Originally located in Calico Mills, the museum was later shifted to The Retreat in Shahibaug in 1983 to accommodate its growing collection.
