Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing

The Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing is housed in a restored haveli in Amber, a short walk from the fort area. Its displays explore hand block printing through textiles, tools, photographs and related objects. The museum's work connects Jaipur's visitor economy with the skills of printers and textile makers, and its own website lists exhibitions, demonstrations, learning programmes and visitor information.

What to know

This museum adds a craft perspective to a day usually centred on Amber's palace. Seeing blocks, tools and printed cloth together helps explain the work behind a finished textile. If you are interested in design or responsible shopping, use the visit to learn how motifs and techniques are made before exploring Jaipur's textile markets.

Good to Know

The museum has seasonal closures and changing opening schedules. Check its official visit page before you leave, including photography, access and workshop details. The building is in Amber's old settlement, so allow for a walk through narrow lanes. Demonstrations and exhibitions may be scheduled rather than available throughout the day.
