Village art gallery
About This Museum
People don't just come to this Srinagar gallery for the art; they come for the quiet story it tells. Tucked away in the Nishat neighborhood, it feels more like a local secret than a formal institution, a place where the vibrant soul of Kashmiri craft is kept alive. Inside, you'll find a stunning collection of hand-knotted carpets that are less like floor coverings and more like woven poetry, each one dense with color and intricate pattern. The overall impression is one of deep, tangible heritage, a peaceful refuge where every piece has a history waiting to be discovered.
