Kutch Museum
કચ્છ મ્યુઝિયમ
The oldest museum in Gujarat, with collections of Kutch embroidery, tribal artefacts, ancient coins and inscriptions.
Kutch Museum was founded in 1877 and is the oldest museum in Gujarat. It stands on the shore of Hamirsar Lake. The galleries display embroidered costumes from Kutch’s tribal communities, silverwork, weapons and ancient coins, as well as early inscriptions from the Saka dynasty of western India. It is a good starting point for understanding the cultural heritage of Kutch. The museum is small, so a visit takes about one hour. Entry is inexpensive, and it is usually closed on Wednesdays, so check before you go.
