Revisiting the Ancient Artefacts of Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum

About the walk

In 1956, Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum was established with the joint efforts of Kasturbhai Lalbhai, a  prominent Ahmedabad-based industrialist, and Jain monk Muni Punyavijayji.

The museum houses three galleries—the Smt. Madhuri Desai gallery exhibits a wide-ranging variety of sculptures in various artistic styles from across India. The Muni Punyavijayji gallery collection, which was assembled by the Jain monk during the 1940s, consists of palm leaf manuscripts—including the earliest painted paper manuscript from 1396 AD, which is also recognised as a global treasure by UNESCO. The Priyakant T. Munshaw gallery consists of a representative collection of historical phases of the coinage of India.

Some rich collections also displayed are the Arvind Lalbhai collection, the Kasturbhai Lalbhai collection, Gopi-Anand Beadwork collection, Lilavati Lalbhai Wood Work collection and Ramayana Drawings of Ayodhya Kanda.

 

This guided tour is free.
