A Centre of Traditional Craftspersons and Artisans

Barely 3km outside the city premises and located in the Aravallis, Shilpgram is a planned village-cum-exhibition centre of traditional craftspersons and artisans presenting their handicrafts. It was established in 1989, and is an ethnographic museum formed as a part of the West Zone Cultural Centre.

The sole aim of Shilpgram is to encourage and appreciate the huge diversity in the folk and tribal arts, crafts and architecture of the four states of the West Zone. 26 huts spread out over a large area represent the folk and tribal communities of the member states. These huts are furnished with traditional household objects in front of which the folk musicians and the craftsmen perform their artistry. Today the complex has etched its place on the tourist map of India where an arts and crafts festival takes place every year.
