IndiaA collection of over 2,000 everyday artifacts and nearly 500 textiles, dating between a century and 300 years, is now on display at the Sanskriti Museum of Everyday Art and Indian Textiles within the Humayun Tomb Museum complex. The collection, originally housed at the Sanskriti Kendra in Anandgram, was amassed by OP Jain, a 97-year-old Delhi-based paper merchant. The museum is a collaborative effort between the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), with the collection having been donated to IGNCA in 2023 and subsequently preserved for exhibition. The displayed items include children's toys, kitchenware, religious garments, and other household objects crafted from materials such as brass, wood, and leather. The exhibit highlights the artistic value of everyday items used by common people rather than the elite.
