The National Crafts Museum near Pragati Maidan holds more than thirty thousand pieces of India's folk and tribal art: textiles, masks, puppets, pottery, miniatures and painted chariots. Around it spreads a museum village with temples and houses from different states, where craftsmen demonstrate their work in the courtyards. The adjoining Hastkala Academy studies traditional trades.
