    MUSEUM OF ART & TEXTILE

    • EXHIBITION AREASThe Kendra incorporates two museums – the sanskriti museum of India terra-cotta and the Sanskriti museum of everyday art.
    These, the most public of all the spaces, needed special attention for clarity of movements.The layout of spaces is such that a visitor moves from one
    exhibit to the next without repeating any.MUSEUM OF INDIAN TERRA-COTTAA series of modular units, have been arranged around landscaped
    courtyards.GOOD PLAY WITH TRANSTION OF SPACES : The module, square in plan, has been used in various forms – sometimes as just a platform, a
    room without roof, a room with roof but no walls, and sometimes totally enclosed with regular doors and windows . The roof is always pyramidal as
    it suits the square plan and blends well with the scale and rural setting.A majority of terracotta belonged to open and semi-open environments.From
    the common earthen pot that stores drinking water to giant-sized cultic equestrian figures of rural Tamil deities of the Aiyyanar cult, terracotta art
    occupies a central position in Indian life and culture. Having had their existence always outside the rigid and binding rules and regulations of the
    shilpshastras or the constituted Hindu canons governing artistic expression, terracotta art enjoys tremendous freedom in imagination and
    conception. Sanskriti found it somewhat intriguing that in spite of their widespread usage, antiquity, artistic merit and cultural significance, terracotta
    objects have not been systematically collected.

    • The museum intends to serve as a typological resource for the study of
    Indian textile traditions. It moves away from the ‘masterpiece’ culture as
    much as from creating an exhaustive inventory of textile genres, as is
    often the case with many museums of the kind. Its objective is to display
    representative examples of important traditions of Indian textiles, and to
    create a pool of information around these that could eventually serve as
    an academic resource for study and research. In all, the museum has 450
    pieces of traditional Indian textiles in its collection. The entry to the
    Museum is through a room that throws light on cotton and silk, indigo and
    madder as the basic materials of Indian textiles. The rest of the galleries
    show representative examples of genres and sub-genres of ritual textiles,
    embroideries, resist-dyed fabrics, and brocades and related techniques.
    Each section and sub-section is introduced by a detailed text informing the
    visitor about its history, typology, materials and techniques and cultural
    significance. This is supplemented by individual captions accompanying
    each displayed object.
