Arts and Crafts Museum Gandhi Smriti
The Gandhi Smriti Arts and Crafts Museum in Bhavnagar is currently undergoing a comprehensive restoration process in collaboration with INTACH Bhavnagar. The restoration efforts have been carefully planned in phases to ensure the preservation and enhancement of the museum's rich collection.
Following the documentation, the second phase involved filtering the artifacts according to their design and artistic value. This step was crucial in determining the specific conservation needs of each piece. Currently, the restoration team is engaged in repairing the selected artifacts, ensuring that they are preserved for future generations. Simultaneously, efforts are underway to collect additional information about the origins and historical context of these artifacts, further enriching the museum's records.
In the first phase, the focus was on documenting the museum's diverse range of artifacts, which include intricate beadwork, delicate ivory work, hand embroidery, and finely crafted woodwork. This documentation process was carried out by dedicated volunteers who meticulously cataloged each piece, ensuring that the historical and artistic significance of the artifacts was accurately recorded.
