Kalabhoomi, Odisha Craft Museum

"Located in Bhubaneswar, the Odisha Craft Museum (Kalabhoomi) is a vibrant “living museum” that brings the state’s rich artistic heritage to life. Thoughtfully designed with open courtyards and traditional aesthetics, Kalabhoomi showcases a diverse range of crafts from stone and wood carving to terracotta, metalwork and iconic textiles like ikat and Sambalpuri weaves.
What sets the museum  apart is the immersive experience it offers: visitors can watch artisans at work, interact with them, and explore recreated rural settings that provide context to these age-old traditions. Blending culture, craft and storytelling, Kalabhoomi is not just a museum but a dynamic space to experience the living legacy of Odisha’s art and craftsmanship."
