India, Ahmedabad, Calico Museum of Textiles
The Calico Museum of Textiles celebrates India’s extraordinary heritage of fibre, cloth and design, housing one of the world’s most important and comprehensive collections of Indian textiles. Founded in 1949 by Gautam and Gira Sarabhai under the Sarabhai Foundation, the museum’s galleries present historic court textiles, regional embroideries, tie‑dye and block‑printed fabrics, ceremonial cloths and garments from the 15th century onwards, alongside works that reflect India’s rich cultural, spiritual and artisanal traditions. Its displays—set within the elegant Retreat complex in Ahmedabad—also encompass bronzes, Jain art and miniature paintings, enriching the story of textile craft, technique and aesthetic across centuries.
