Among the highlights of my journeys through India researching textiles over the last two decades has been the discovery of some lesser-known museums. While my effort as an independent curator has been, often, to consistently question the framework of such formal institutions themselves, some of those I list here have left a lasting impression on me. They are relatively small, compared to large format mainstream museums, offering an intimate experience for visitors. They are striking for their collections, architecture and spatial design, and of a pursuit of specific themes and subjects.
