COLLECTION

The plurality of Indian culture is manifest in its art forms.

India’s textile arts can be traced back 5000 years during which the desirability of her textiles reached far corners of the globe. The TAPI Collection consists of over four thousand textiles of historic value, encompassing a wide range of techniques, materials, and motifs.

In addition to textiles, TAPI also preserves other examples of the visual arts. Noteworthy are the Miniatures and Company School paintings in the collection.

Explore a few highlights of the collection – from rich courtly brocades to vibrant cottons for distant shores, dramatic heirloom cloths to intricately rendered miniatures, gilded temple hangings to painted vignettes of everyday life. Immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of art, history and culture.
