Sanskar Kendra & Kite Museum
સંસ્કાર કેન્દ્ર
A city museum designed by Le Corbusier, with more than a hundred kites on display on the ground floor. It is ideal for architecture fans and kite-festival enthusiasts.
Sanskar Kendra is one of Le Corbusier's works in Ahmedabad, designed in 1954. Its raised ground floor, exposed concrete and brick walls make it instantly recognizable. The museum tells the story of the city's history and includes a Kite Museum, a rarity in India, which showcases kites and kite-festival traditions from across the country. Located in Paldi on the west bank of the Sabarmati River, it has very low admission fees. It is closed on Mondays, and some galleries may be under renovation.
