History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The museum building is the 16th century Haveli or mansion known as Chanwar Palkiwalon Ki Haveli. Not much information is available about the former occupants of this building. It is one of the prominent Havelis of Amer and situated near the Kheri Gate. Kheri Gate is one of the gates of the wall of Amer which provided security to the occupants of this medieval town Jaipur Tour Packages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Haveli was purchased by the founder of Anokhi, Mr. John Singh during the 1970s in a dilapidated condition. It wasn\u2019t until the late 80s that the idea of the museum took shape. The Haveli was painstakingly restored over an extensive period of time. The local artisans were provided full liberty for the restoration process rather than relying on an architect\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is apparent it took a lot of effort to restore this building to the current position. A special mention needs to be made that the restoration process was undertaken using traditional building material and processes and it took four years to restore the building. In the year 2000, the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing<\/strong> won the UNESCO award for cultural conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
