Not so many but great works. There are also a library which has many useful books about Indian culture.You can come here(Ajrakhpurby bus (no.30)from new Bhuj bus stop. You can also ride this bus from Jubliee circle or RTO circle.

Its a well planned and managed center. The collection of the art work is awesome. Some of the work in the exhibition is marvelous, unseen. The culture of each community has been displayed in the best possible manner.Primary diplay is of the bharat art work of different communities.And there are other art work also showcased here that are rare to see.The queries that are asked are answered in the best possible way, Mr. Shivam explained all the possible details about each and every art work, it was with great insightfulness.If you are interested in art work this is the place for you.You can easily spend 2-3 hours in exploring the art work.Photography is not allowed in the showcase Gallery, however outside the gallery you and click some memorable images.There is a cafeteria and a garden in the campus.Do visit this place in ajrakhpur its beautiful !!!

If you want to learn about the Kutchi culture, this is the place to go. From their clothing to various tribes, all details are available at the museum. We had been to the one at Ajrakhpur. There is one more at Bhuj. To know more in depth about various topics, there is downloadable content available on the website as well.The social distancing policy was apt. However at the moment their cafe was closed because of corona. But you can spend good 1-1.5 hours here learning about the culture.

Just loved the way they have done the Museum. There is proper write up about everything and sample of all stitches are outside the cases to see how they have done it. U need at least an hour or two to go through all the galleries properly. Shivam was an amazing guide with immense knowledge on textile and he is always smiling and happy to reply any questions u have in mind. Their canteen is also good, simple but tasty food. The shop inside the museum complex also sells good stuffs done by all the community ladies. Definitely a must visit place. As photography inside is not allowed, so not many pics to share.

Very calming place .. great architecture amazing place for knowledge about kutch Heritage and textiles and embroidery.

Totally worth it to visit this MUSUEM! Its got all different kinds of embroideries used on various garments and materials displayed behind the walls which are worth having a look at, photography isnt allowed inside but outsides are really great to spend some time. A small video was shown in their theatre about the Gujarat embroidery and handicrafts which was very helpful along with that a visit to the museum helped learn and know much more about all the display! The washrooms were hygienic along with a canteen! Totally would recommend a visit for a few hours! All the display is made by the craftswomen by their own hands.

The museum is a must visit place. It is filled with artwork of different communities around Kutch. Here you can see many famous textiles and the art of making them. Each and every piece is explained and is very expensive.The museum was quiet informative and the design of the exhibition gallery was amazing. It was well built and structured. If you are exploring Kutch, this place should be the top most in your list.It not only has original artworks but also a shop where you can buy these. These is also a canteen where you can have beverages and quick meals.The museum is not just a display gallery for the famous artworks but also a place for communities of Kutch to explore themselves.In shot: The place is WORTH IT! 😊

A great place showcasing crafts of Kutchch.

The living and learning design centre (LLDCis a pioneering new affort of the shrujan trust to preserve, revitalize and promote the glorious craft heritage of Kutch.

Excellent ! The layout, ambience, staff are superb. The craftsmanship displayed is so beautiful n intricate n perfect, shows the love the artisans have for their skill. It has been set up very interestingly with the history and story behind each different kind of work.Our guide knew everything there was to know about each piece on display and was happy to share. Absolutely a must visit. There is an auditorium where a preliminary introduction is given so we went in aware of what was before us.Regular workshops are conducted for the artisans to interact with designers who guide them about making new products which will help promote their art in different ways.This initiative has revived the traditional embroidery and other art of the kutch area immensely.No photography permitted..so have togo see it in person!!

Wonderful place showcasing rich traditional heritage in form of beautiful crafts of Gujarat related to different communities . There are three galleries in total. Gallery 1 is most elaborate one. Gallery 3 is a work in progress. There is shop as well where one can buy authentic articles made by artisans. A must visit place if you are in Bhuj.

Place preserving various traditional art, also working with different communities to explore their art skills

Must visit place for art lovers if you visiting Kutch.It is in Ajrakhpur village. Near by city is Bhuj. Best place to experience Kutchi art and history. They have shop also if you want to buy art piece.

Shrujan LLDC has a fantastic gallery (Gallery 1which includes intricate weaving and dress materials which must be experienced (cannot be explainedAwesome experience and must stop for art lovers . There is a saying that "Kutch nahin dekha tho kuch nahin dekha" (If you did not see and experience Kutch then you havent seen or experienced anything). I would say if you havent seen Shrujan LLDC then your trip of Kutch is incomplete. Situated about 20 km from Bhuj, it is easily accessible by road and transportation from Bhuj is easily available (even auto rickshaw or tuktuk can take you there). Factor at least 4-5 hours to see the Gallery 1 only. Gallery 2 was under renovation when we visited today.

Must visit place in bhuj calm and peace ful atmosphere there is also a canteen there which provides home like food 120 per plate

Awsome place.. chanda kaki you have been great inspiration to all the Kutch artisans.. nd have brought them to market. Hats off. May Gods grace be upon you and u continue to preserve the kutch art as you are doing now.

As you step into the place you can see that these people are passionate about what they are doing. What was started, by a single woman visionary, to help 30 women to engage in their handicrafts profitably, is today 30,000 strong.The documentary is so good and worth the time spent. Upstairs the exhibition of the various crafts and handwork of Gujarat, makes your heart swell with pride and also wonder if we are really being just to our artisans.The lovely building also houses a retail outlet, showcasing embroidered clothes mainly. One can also find some home decor articles like cushion covers, thorans, bedspreads etc . The work is exemplary and the price nominal. I ended up buying a couple of things, with the satisfaction that i am doing my bit to encourage the artisans.

A must visit place if in kutch. The work the trust has put into this museum is immense. The work they are doing to maintain the importance of local art and culture is inspiring. A must visit for all art and culture lovers. The staff is also very sweet and informative.

Excellent place to explore kachchhi embroidery art from 12 different local tribe , must visit

If you want to know about textile tradition of Gujarat, you should really get in here. This is one of the best textile museums in India.

A fantastic concept and campus. The pristine vision of this organisation is evident through the thorough way in which the galleries and campus have been implemented. Just incredible and eye-opening! A must visit for any lover of Indian culture, and if youre particularly into art and crafts, its a jackpot. Plus the buildings themselves are an architectural delight!

The museum is very well kept with information on almost all the handicrafts in Gujarat. The well maintained museum is located in Ajrakhpur.

Exclusive collection of the embroidery works and the related information of the tribes from different parts of Kutch.

They are preserving art and craft of communitie and also providing livelihood.

Love the place, idea and concept. Must see if you are in bhuj

An excellent museum showing the crafts of Kachcch in well curated and well labelled exhibitions. It costs very little to enter and there is a guide to assist with understanding the exhibits. The gift shop has very good examples of local crafts. Very highly recommend.

Visited lldc during the cultural fest last week. Really couldnt explore much .. but the place seems like having some potential. One must visit atleast once. Good infrastructure and looks well managed.

The galleries, the cafe and the shop... Beautiful spaces that require atleast 2 hrs.. book ahead to eat at the cafe ( simple yumm food)

Amazing place! Feels excellent when its filled with people, mela, artifacts, artisans and performances.The building is designed by Indigo architects.

A must seen museum for social people. If desired and dedicated, how a person or association can change the life of hundreds;LLDC is living example of such persons. Working for down trodden families, they made the people specially ladies to work for their own betterment. The association has persuaded people to work on the art they knew and make this museum/exhibition for showcasing their work as well as helping them to sell products. Hats off to such nice persons

Best museum on kutchi traditional embroidery. Superb collection, world class display & extremely knowledgeable & polite staff. Must visit, highly recommended for design enthusiasts.

There are two uniqueness in this place.1.Collection of every traditional clothes and utensils in gallery 12.Weaving of clothes are demonstrated lively and even classes are also conducted for learners.

Super Excellent; not to be missed. Gives real insight. Already 14 years of Research has gone into it. Shri Kantisen Shroff of EXCEL & the family deserves SALUTE & AWARDS

Osm place for craftsman and also for all of us it showcases many embroidery crafts in detailed manner..

This is a wonderful living museum where one can learn about craft heritage of Kutch.. and get some hands on experience as well.. the work displayed here is amazing and I recommend spending at least 5-6 hours here if you really want to learn about traditional craft.. admission charges are 50 INR for adults.. there is a shop by ngo shrujan where you can buy authentic handwork fabric/shawls/sarees/kurtas/tops.. many tour operators do not cover this place but its worth a visit..

Great place to visit. Have some time when you come here. Spare special time. Lovely place. Too good guide...!!

Beautiful work done by the people who have contributed in the making. Peaceful for people who love art and architecture.

The best architecture I have seen...a brilliant building.. the crafts displayed are also way above anyones expectation.. a must visit for all artists and architects..
