The low-lying museum building, most appropriate for displaying India's rural and tribal arts, is designed by the renowned architect Charles Correa, to act as metaphor for an Indian village street - affable, accommodative and active.
The Scales and proportions of the building are based on those of the traditional Indian village where objects of everyday life are hand made and used.
This craft museum is under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India.
NHHM is open on all seven days from 9.30 A.M. to 5.00 P.M. Exhibition galleries remain closed on Mondays.
